Black Voters Matter are on the ground in South Carolina ahead of the Feb. 3 Democratic presidential preference primary.
During an empowering three-day bus tour, Black Voters Matter will be sending a clear message that Black voters in rural and urban areas will not be denied the vote.
On Jan. 25, the national voting rights organization launched their newest campaign, dubbed 2024 “We Fight Back,” in South Carolina. Ahead of the SC Democratic Primary Election, the ambitious team pulled up to the city of Charleston in a mega tour bus to “strategize and envision” what grassroots organizing looks like in 2024, given racist voter suppression tactics that harm Black communities.
“Everything that Black communities are fighting for across the nation is on full display in South Carolina. It’s racist gerrymandering is pending in the Supreme Court, it remains one of the few states that hasn’t expanded Medicaid and it continues to attack racial justice,” Cliff Albright, co-founder and executive director of Black Voters Matter, said in the announcement release.
