(BALTIMORE – September 20, 2024) – Today is National Black Voter Day, dedicated to amplifying Black voters’ power. From crucial issues like student loan relief to lowering medical costs, our votes have shaped policy at the highest levels of government. This election, we’ve committed $20 million to educate and support Black voters so we can continue to have a say in our future.
