Black Voters Matter Capacity Building Institute Is Working To Boost Black Political Power

This election season, it’s more important than ever that everyone’s voice is heard at the polls, especially communities that have historically faced barriers to voting. Black Voters Matter Capacity Building Institute is on a mission to increase the political power of marginalized groups, especially Black communities. Their work on voting rights, mass incarceration, environmental and climate justice, police reform, financial freedom, healthcare, and affordable healthcare is creating opportunities for Black communities to harness their political power and enact real change.

“Our community fought long and hard for the freedom to vote in this country, and they won,” says Cliff Albright, Executive Director of Black Voters Matter. “Now, nearly sixty years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act, racist politicians are rolling back our freedom to vote and countless other freedoms — like the freedom to learn and the freedom to be safe from gun violence. This generation can fight back by refusing to give into cynicism and despair and making their voices heard at the polls. Their votes have the power to change history and our communities.”
