Building on collective education and inspiration, we consistently speak truth to power in numbers and mobilize together in our demands to claim our Black communities’ collective rights, dignity, and birthright to claim space and live unapologetically. Through our one-stop-shop for direct activations and Claim Our Space Now programming with community partners, we make consistent community actions accessible for all to stay active in the urgent fight to dismantle white supremacy and co-create new systems that will save all Black lives.
Formerly, we sought to empower all Black and oppressed communities through the accessibility of voter registration and the advocacy for people to exercise their right to vote in local elections. When Claim the Vote was active we hosted popups with Headcount & GLAAD we got 66 voters registered, 28 people counted in the census, and brought in roughly $100,000 in the districts that we popped up in throughout CA, NY, NC, OH, MN, and FL.Since then, our continued education has caused us to shift away from the American political system and electoral politics. A system built on the genocide of indigenous peoples and African slave labor that continues to wage war over communities in the US and abroad. However, if you are in search of resources like Claim the Vote, head over to Headcount for more electoral-based activism.
