Where we are

While Black Male Voter Project is the only national organization focused solely on increasing Black men’s participation in electoral politics, we do have 17 priority states. In these states, we run our full BMEP Additory Approach campaigns, which includes digital targeting, our club ambassador program, phone banking, peer to peer texting, and relational organizing.

Our goal is to make more than 300 million voter attempts, targeting Black men in an effort to close the voter gap with Black women and Black men from 10% to 4%.

Our Impact

Black Male Voter Project’s impact on 2020 elections can be defined as nothing less than an innovative, polls defying and bad ass rethinking of how we run effective additiory campaigns in this country. With direct voter engagement to every Black man in our 17 priority states. We did not begin after Labor Day, but at the beginning of the year and continued throughout, and as a result we saw increased participation across the board. In a demographic that pundits and pollsters said would sit this election out. We prioritized what we knew was important to Black men and built programs around these issues; trades back in schools, ending cash bail and putting an end to qualified immunity.
