SPONSOR HIGHLIGHTS
 The mission of 1Hood Media
is to build liberated communities through art, activism, and social
justice. Never censoring youth involved in our programming, we provide a
safe space for youth to learn, grow, and tell their own stories, while
providing a template for educators to model. 1Hood Media aims to be the
vehicle that will identify, develop, and inspire the artists &
activists of today and tomorrow. Hear from 1Hood's Jasiri X and Khari Mosley during our opening keynote.
 ActBlue is
a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering small-dollar donors.
We make it easy for grassroots supporters to make their voices heard and
enable thousands of Democratic campaigns, progressive organizations,
and nonprofits to build people-powered movements with our powerful
online fundraising tools. ActBlue is sponsoring tonight's karaoke party at The Standard starting at 9 p.m.
 The work of Black Male Voter Project is to increase the number of Black men who are super voters. As the
only national organization that solely focuses on the voting habits of
Black men, we launched this organization because we saw the shortcomings
in current techniques as methods of reaching Black men who were not
super voters. Traditional campaigning is insufficient to expand the
universe of sporadic or low information Black men that participate in
the electoral process. Catch Black Male Voter Project during our Opening Reception on the Rooftop immediately following our opening keynote.
