Black Folk Must Vote (BFMV) is a national grassroots initiative, that encourages African Americans to register, vote and make their voices heard. The initiative fulfills its urgent, transformational agenda by promoting the importance of voting, contributing voting information and education in Black communities, and advocating for access to the ballot for all eligible Black voters. Referencing the 15th and 19th amendments provokes conversation among Black voters and is a powerful expression of voter responsibility. This strategy extends their reach and impact in Black communities.
