Freedom and justice may be “community” goals, but the stakes are always personal – especially when it comes to your ability to participate in the democratic process. From the halls of government to your local school board, extremists seek to roll back the clock on voting rights. Fired by passion rooted in individual struggle and experience, Black Americans from all sectors are pushing back. Parents and students. Business owners and service workers. Seasoned activists and people of faith. Learn how a rising coalition is redefining civic engagement for the reclamation of our democracy. Join the discussion. Your personal commitment is required.
