The National Black Church Initiative (NBCI) acknowledges that we were unaware of the existing contract or agreement with Black organizations including Rev. Sharpton's National Action Network to conduct non-partisan Get Out the Vote (GOTV) efforts ahead of the election.
After further research, we have found no evidence that any candidate paid for support or endorsements, nor that NBC was engaged in any partisan political activities related to Vice President Harris' appearance on PoliticsNation.
This call was inappropriate, and we regret the misstep. Moving forward, NBCI is committed to working collaboratively with all groups to foster greater understanding and unity toward the greater good of Black people in America.
Our shared mission must center on advancing equity, empowerment, and opportunity for our communities, while we remain steadfast in our call for transparency.
