Black voters can determine elections across the nation, up and down the ballot. This year, more than 34 million Black Americans, including 5.7 million Black Gen Zers, will be eligible to vote. Join advocates and leaders for a thought-provoking conversation on the role we all play in protecting and strengthening our democracies and our communities. This conversation is a part of a partnership between ESSENCE, the Global Black Economic Forum, and When We All Vote to ensure Essence Voting Squad members are ready to use their voices to speak up about the issues motivating them to vote, including economic justice, climate change, and gun violence prevention.
