Showing Up for the Future We Deserve

We’ve had enough of this mess.

High rent.
High food prices.
High bills.
High healthcare.

On top of that?

A corrupt government that won’t tell us the truth.
Racists saying whatever, whenever.
And paying taxes for a war that no one asked for.

There's an election this fall, and if you're like us, then you aren't sitting this one out.
We are showing up together.

If we don’t, someone else decides the future for us. It’s time to reclaim our vote.

Turning Civic Participation Into Power

Reclaim Your Vote is the National Urban League’s nationwide civic engagement campaign working to ensure that Black voters and underserved communities are informed, registered, and ready to vote.

Through our network of affiliates, volunteers, and partners, Reclaim Your Vote organizes communities through voter registration, education, and turnout efforts.

Participating in democracy is the most effective way to shape the issues that affect your life, and that starts by meeting people where they are: on campuses, in neighborhoods, in churches and community spaces, and online through digital platforms.
