“Will my vote actually make a difference?”
“Nothing ever changes.”
“I’m tired of politicians.”
We get it, John, — sh*t has been bad for quite some time.
And while sometimes it’s easy to forget, voting DOES make a difference.
Voter participation is how we disrupt and demand change and deliberately accept or decline the quality of what we’re getting from elected officials.
Voting isn’t just a human right but also a powerful tool to fight against systemic oppression and enact real change. Choosing our next president is critical, but the local elections in our communities have a significant impact on daily life, too. Early voting has already started in a few states, and we encourage you to go to the polls and do what’s necessary.
Our Ancestors put their blood, sweat, and tears into fighting for the right to vote. They understood how important it was for Black Americans across the country to have a voice in our democracy.
If you believe Black Lives Matter, then you MUST vote. If you haven't yet (or you know someone who hasn't), please use our voter portal to make your plan to vote in November.
Black liberation is in our hands, and it's vested in who we elect to represent us. It’s on us to utilize our voting power to ensure that we’re actively pushing for the policies and representation that advance our communities forward.
In love and solidarity,
Black Lives Matter Foundation |

Black Lives Matter imagines a world where Black people across the diaspora thrive, experience joy, and are not defined by their struggles.
We are building a future where Black people are free, safe, and able to thrive beyond cages, control, and violence.
To keep this work moving, we need consistency. Recurring donations are how grassroots movements win. Monthly gifts from people like you are the backbone of our work.
Will you make a recurring contribution of $5 or more today so that we can keep building momentum for our movement?
In pursuing liberation, we envision a future fully divested from police, prisons, and all punishment paradigms and which invests in justice, joy, and culture. Email is the most important way we keep in touch with our supporters. But we know there's a lot going on.
