Friend,
The stakes of the 2020 election could not be higher. As Black Lives Matter activists take to the streets, a pandemic sweeps through our homes, and the west coast LITERALLY burns, the executive branch has sat back and watched hundreds of thousands of Americans die.
For over a decade now, Hip Hop Caucus has been registering voters and mobilizing Black Americans to fight these very evils.
Sixteen years ago today, we held the very first Hip Hop Caucus, bringing together groups that were using cultural power to bring in voters who the political class ignores. On 9/11/2004, we were mobilizing ahead of the re-election campaign of a president who took office despite losing the popular vote, and who had spread misinformation that got Americans killed.
Hip Hop Caucus was created to carry the lessons of that election and build power for the long term. We’re still here, and we’re still bringing people in, demanding respect for our votes!
The Respect My Vote! Campaign will:
- Register thousands of voters
- Get voters to take the pledge
- Educate voters about voter suppression tactics, and how to overcome them
- Walk people through the process of vote by mail
- Engage some of the most dynamic celebrity influencers to help organize Black voters and amplify Black voices
It’s a scary time. But our voices are powerful instruments of change.
And that’s why we keep marching forward. We keep lifting our voices and fighting for what we believe in.
Join us in facing 2020 head on. Wish us a happy birthday, and help us fight for a better future.
For future generations,
Rev. Yearwood
Founder & President
Hip Hop Caucus
