The NAACP will spend an historic amount of money on the 2026 midterm elections following the Supreme Court’s April ruling that gutted the Voting Rights Act’s power to combat racial gerrymandering.

In wake of the nation’s 250th anniversary, the nonpartisan civil rights organization announced plans to invest $20 million in its Get Out The Vote campaign leading up to November’s midterm elections. According to a press release, the NAACP has partnered with GSSA to mobilize 6.5 million Black voters across 14 states and 33 congressional districts. The spending will fund voter outreach efforts that include grassroots organizing, digital and traditional advertising, the recruitment of 20,000 volunteers, and voter education in key states where turnout has played a significant role in election outcomes.

The NAACP says the unprecedented campaign comes in response to concerns about voting access, civic participation, and policy changes affecting Black communities. Their goal is to encourage voters to register, make voting plans, and participate in the 2026 midterm elections.

Yea,
though We walk through the valley of the shadow of death
We will fear no evil
We will fear no cowards
We will fear no infested waters
We’ve been swimming with gators
Since you used us for bait
Since you hung and burned
our soul mates
Since you labeled us three fifths
Since you lashed us with whips
Since Black codes
Jim Crow
Segregation
Great migration
Black belt
Red lining
Food deserts
A forever moving finish line
And yet we still dive in
Teach our babies how to swim
The swamp has never been drained
You are jealous
That we can dance
on your mud
And remain pristine
make art from
Our scars
Songs from our screams
Defeated because
We melt manufactured ice
Hope when you surround us with hate
That’s why our solidarity
Makes you tremble
And your cowardice
Makes you hide your face

A Black Woman
Sitting on a bus
An echo
A reminder
Victory will always be
The righteous’ fate

🗳️ Civic engagement is more than casting a ballot on Election Day.

It’s knowing who represents you. It’s understanding the issues that impact your community. It’s attending meetings, asking questions, staying informed, and participating in organizations that are working to make a difference.

Too often, decisions are made by those who show up while many others remain unaware of what’s happening around them. When we’re informed and engaged, we are better equipped to hold leaders accountable, advocate for our communities, and make informed choices at the ballot box.

At the Pitt County African American Caucus, we believe that community impact starts with participation. We encourage everyone to stay informed, learn about the candidates and issues that affect our community, and find ways to get involved throughout the year, not just during election season.

Our collective voice is strongest when we are educated, engaged, and united.
