On October 16, 1995, the Million Man March took place on a zippy day in Washington, DC to promote unity and family values. It’s considered one of the largest demonstrations of Black men that has ever happened in the United States.

The organizers of the pivotal march were animated by a desire to see Congress improve the lives of Black people and combat negative stereotypes of Black masculinity in the mainstream media. The enthusiasm the organizers had for change inspired future generations of activists and political firsts, including President Barack Obama.

Three decades later and this anniversary comes as we’re once again fighting for Congress to take seriously key policies that impact Black people the most. Many of the same problems in 1995 persist to this day, but awareness of the solutions is different, and positively so.

This November, we have an opportunity to elect progressive candidates who will deliver real change for Black communities. And we know that when Black voters show up at the polls, we win elections for candidates who are champions for our communities.

Color Of Change has recruited more volunteers and organizers than we ever have to get out the vote in battleground states for candidates who will prioritize the issues we care about — like expanded public and economic safety, criminal justice transformations, and student debt relief.

Every amount you chip in, John, makes a difference in the fight against anti-Black racism and the fight to take back our democracy. We’ve reached the final mid-month deadline during this election season, so we’re asking if you can make your first donation of any amount to fight back.
