May begins with a call to pause our spending, but not our power. Across the globe, Black Democrats Abroad are organizing, voting, speaking up, and staying connected to the issues that shape our lives, our families and our futures. We may live outside the United States, but our voices still carry power.
Join us for two May gatherings:
-
Sunday, May 17, Virtual Event: Film Screening & Discussion: American Revolutionary – The Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs
Two special screenings – both on May 17 – and conversation about Grace Lee Boggs, her work across civil rights, Black Power, community, democracy, and organizing.
RSVP
- Sunday, May 24, Virtual Event: Together in This Moment – A Global Black Caucus Gathering
A 90-minute online gathering for Black Americans abroad to pause, breathe, reflect, and reconnect in community.
RSVP
Power to the People Podcast
We’re getting out the vote by talking with our members. Their stories inspire others, and we want to share yours. DM @globalblackcaucus on Instagram for more information and to book your slot. For inspiration, listen to Shelley in Paris tell some stories on a recent episode.
We are not waiting for permission to matter. We already do. Our votes matter. Our stories matter. Our organizing matters. This May, let’s move with focus, care, and purpose because Black voters abroad are a critical part of the future we are fighting for.
In solidarity,
