"Renewing this partnership signals that Black and Latino communities are united in solidarity, and with the shared purpose of building a future centered in community, peace and prosperity,"
"Unity is paramount - we're marching as a community for economic, racial, and voting justice,"

Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Drum Major Institute, and Mi Familia Vota will hold a yearlong series of meetings to unite civil rights leaders, community organizers, and policymakers and to develop a new agenda for Black and Latino voters responding to redistricting battles and rising polarization. The coalition will coordinate campaign efforts and roll out a 'Black Brown' campaign across ten states, including Texas, Georgia, Arizona, and California. The effort centers solidarity and aims to defend the Voting Rights Act, amplify Black and Latino voices, and pursue economic, racial, and voting justice through coordinated regional events and voter engagement.
