Voter Empowerment |
Voter Empowerment ProgramThe right to vote is the central pillar of American democracy. For African Americans, this basic citizenship right has been obstructed and gained only through bloodshed, protest and much strife. In the 21st century, however, after much social, legal and political gains and progress, African Americans still confront issues of voter suppression.
The SCLC is a direct action advocacy organization committed to ensuring that all American citizens may fully engage the democratic process. Through national voter registration, voter education, voter protection and voter participation efforts the SCLC engages, educates and empowers our chapters, members and their communities to defend their right to vote by building strong collaborative community networks that challenge voter suppression tactics |
