Greetings Brothers,
It’s essential that we be apart of the decisions that determine our rights as we ceaselessly seek equality, equity, and justice. Even during these difficult times, we understand the importance of why our voice is our vote. We created this campaign to challenge those who may be complacent, or even discouraged when the time comes to show up at the polls. Please understand that your vote counts and this simple act contribute to the collective approach our communities take every day.
I look forward to working with you, brother, as we continue our legacy of creating change within our communities. I pray for your peace and safety. This activation manual was created to help you get involved and informed. Please use it to create a success out of this campaign. If you have any questions please email our Conference Director at 1stvp@pbm1989.org.

Our Voice Is Our Vote: 2024 Civic Engagement Campaign
Progressive Black Men, Inc. has once again stepped up to the plate to Rock The Vote this election season. This year the organization is launching a civic engagement campaign during the 2024 Presidential Election to challenge underrepresented communities to strengthen their political involvement.
This political awareness activity addresses our Five Points of Progression service effort to mobilize the Black community and younger generations at the polls by informing them of their voting options and responsibilities, as well as getting them registered by the October 5th deadline.
WE LOOK TO HAVE ALL MEMBERS OF PROGRESSIVE BLACK MEN. INC. TO HAVE A ACTIVE VOTER REGISTRATION STATUS AND HAVE A PLAN TO VOTE IN THIS UPCOMING ELECTION.
