The Blackest Bus in America is back!

The Blackest Bus in America is back out on the road and “We Won’t Black Down” [Black Voters Matter logo]( Friend, The Blackest Bus in America is back out on the road and “We Won’t Black Down” Ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, we are heading back out on the road to engage Black voters, policymakers, faith-based leaders, Black influencers and HBCU students. We will be talking to our supporters about how we can band together to build a strong and inclusive democracy by participating in the upcoming midterm elections. This tour will include multiple activations, from the Florida “We Draw the Lines” redistricting campaign, to our “Take the Field” initiative to engage HBCU students, to countless exciting partnerships, and more. Learn more about what we are setting out to accomplish on this tour and how you can get involved along the way by reading our recent press release below. [LEARN MORE](   Engaging our students across Georgia This week we wrapped up our Black Youth Renaissance Bus Tour. On this tour, we partnered with RepGA, Georgia STAND-Up, the NAACP, and Ben and Jerry’s as part of our fall GOTV efforts. We traveled to six different HBCU campuses across the state of Georgia to educate students on the importance of voting and this upcoming election. [TAKE A LOOK](   Celebrating the power of Black Voters with Ben & Jerry’s Yesterday on National Voter Registration Day, we announced our new partnership with Ben & Jerry’s. We had the opportunity to join them for the unveiling of a new look and mission for their popular “Change is Brewing” ice cream flavor. This new flavor branding and promotion for “Change is Brewing” will be focused on advancing racial justice through the protection of voting rights and encouraging voter turnout ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. [READ MORE](   Freedom is power… Freedom is impact There is nothing more crucial to the success of this movement than the mobilization of our community BY our community.
