Please see BlackPAC Executive Director Adrianne Shropshire's full statement regarding today's SCOTUS decision here:
Join us and @ForwardCarolina next Wednesday!
Join us and @ForwardCarolina next Wednesday!
Today, we celebrate freedom. The freedom that missed Black Americans on that first July 4th when the Declaration of Independence was signed. 🧵
#OnThisDay in 1865, General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, TX to read Order No. 3, which affirmed the end of slavery in the states of the former Confederacy. This momentous occasion has been celebrated as #Juneteenth — a combination of “June” & “19th” — for over 150 years.
Gov. DeSantis has one policy priority: advancing white supremacy. His anti-Black agenda is taking Florida back to the Black Codes and Jim Crow, and he will be held accountable.

The whole world is watching. And what they are seeing is Republicans' true colors: their efforts to strip Black voters, citizens, and elected officials of their power. But we will not let them succeed.
Expelling two duly-elected, Black legislators from the Tennesee State House tonight is steeped in racism and fascism. Right-wing legislators and activists across the country are following these trends more openly and they must be held accountable. nbcnews.com/politics/polit…
ICYMI: @AdrianneShrop spoke with @JohnFugelsang about how @voteblackpac helped galvanize Black voters to the polls in Georgia.
Decency and morality won tonight. Senator Raphael Warnock won tonight! Thank you, Georgia, for voting today to protect our rights and freedoms. Onward.
It's Election Day in Georgia! Millions of Georgians have already made their voices heard during a historic early vote turnout. But it's not too late to use your power. Visit BlackVoteGA.com to find your polling place and go vote!
BlackPAC's Exective Director @AdrianneShrop joined @TheSundayShow to discuss the energy on the ground in GA ahead of the Dec. 6 runoff. BlackPAC has knocked on more than two million doors to ensure our community's voice is heard. It's time to vote and use your power. Again.
Georgia! Today is the last day to vote early ahead of the Dec. 6 runoff election for U.S. Senate. Visit BlackVoteGA.com to find your polling location and get prepared to vote.
Early voting has started in some counties throughout Georgia! Visit BlackVoteGA.com to find more information and get ready to vote!

And through a digital engagement with @BlackProgAction, Priorities centered Pennsylvania’s Black communities and their power to decide the election.
Priorities made deep investments in Pennsylvania to boost Fetterman’s candidacy including crucial partnerships with @MajorityPAC, @NARAL, @Comms2PA and @BlackProgAction.
We're officially a week out! Have you made a plan? Visit BlackPACVote.com to make sure you're ready to use your power.
Our canvass teams have spoken to thousands of Black voters in key states. What's clear from those conversations is that Black voters overwhelmingly support upholding Roe v. Wade. This is a motivating issue.

Great to spend time on the doors with our amazing team in Laurinburg, NC today. Big things happening thanks to these organizers.
I cannot predict what will happen in our country, but I do believe we will look back and be appalled at the failures of journalism in this period of clear and in my lifetime, unprecedented, attacks on freedom of speech and our democratic institutions.
I’ve been thinking more and more that newsrooms need to hold an all-staff meeting where they invite democracy experts & historians in & really do a massive reset of how we are covering what’s happening in our country right now. It’s not about partisanship but covering reality.
Ahead of the 2022 midterms our sister organization @BlackProgAction is on the ground in battleground states hearing from Black voters about what's at stake for them and what it will take to get them to the polls next year

Our Senate must pass the #FreedomToVoteAct. The vote is TODAY. Call your BOTH your Senators NOW: (202) 224-3121. Our democracy is on the line and we have the chance to do something about it. Call your Senators. #VotingRights
This is the biggest civil rights fight in a generation. We cannot return to Jim Crow-era discrimination designed to keep Black voters away from the ballot box and nullify their voices in our society. #VotingRightsNow
.@playbookdc @politico “PHOTO OF THE DAY” — this C-SPAN screenshot of Sens. Schumer and Manchin:
In our nation there is no freedom more fundamental than the right to vote. As our old friend John Lewis said before his passing it is the most powerful nonviolent tool we have. - @SenatorDurbin #VotingRightsNow #JohnLewisVotingRightsAct

The right to vote is fundamental to our democracy. But recent Supreme Court decisions have eroded the Voting Rights Act’s crucial protections. Senate Democrats are introducing the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to restore and update the VRA.
School dress codes disproportionately affect girls and nonbinary students—especially those who are children of color. “We want Black girls to be their authentic selves. Not be penalized for who they are and how their bodies are shaped.” prismreports.org/2021/09/14/bip…
By intentionally denying African Americans access to economic opportunities, healthcare, education, and a sense of support from government agencies, the risk factors of domestic violence are higher in these communities. #BlackLivesMatter ✊🏾
I proudly stood with my colleagues today to introduce the new John Lewis Voting Advancement Act in the Senate. It'd restore critical safeguards of the Voting Rights Act gutted by the Supreme Court and help fight suppressive voting laws. The Senate will vote on this vital bill.
🚨UPDATE: @cliff_notes, our Co-Founder and Executive Director, along with Ben Jealous and others are still in police custody after being arrested yesterday for protesting in front of @WhiteHouse. We will continue to post more updates as they become available. 🎥: @MarkusforDC
Today senators introduced the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. In many instances, this legislation would stop jurisdictions with a history of racial discrimination – like Texas and Georgia – from instituting voting changes without federal approval.
"Today's reinvigorated efforts to deprive members of minority groups from equal access to the ballot box through more subtle second generation barriers proves that a new preclearance... is needed now more than ever." - @SenBlumenthal
