The Electoral Justice Project
Building Civic Power for Black Lives
The Electoral Justice Project (EJP) is a project of the Movement for Black Lives that seeks to continue a long legacy of social movements fighting for the advancement of the rights of Black folks through electoral strategy. We recognize that electoral work alone will not change the conditions plaguing Black communities, but we believe that Black people deserve a loving and strategic political home to seek transformational political change.
EJP seeks to do the following
-
Develop a Black Political Identity by investing in building a black radical political project and translating our public policy demands & national platform to further connect with our people.
-
Grow the Capacity of Black led Grassroot Organizations to champion a political strategy in their communities.
-
Expand & Mobilize the Black Electorate by recruiting, training, and sending out Black messengers to engage Black voters on local issues that affect their lives.
-
Build a Political Home for ALL Black people.
