Friday, September 18 is National Black Voter Day
National Black Voter Day aims to energize and galvanize Black voters nationwide to take collective action toward civic engagement. The date coincides with the country's first early voting day, in South Dakota and Minnesota -- the latter being ground zero of the fight for racial justice since the killing of George Floyd.

Friday, September 18, Launch of All In: The Fight for Democracy
All In: The Fight for Democracy is a timely film examining the insidious issue of voter suppression in the U.S. The greatest way to combat voter suppression is with voter turnout, so let's get as many people as possible registered and ready to vote in November!
