Celebrating Black History Month with The Collective PAC

All month long, we want to elevate the work of some of our amazing partner organizations whose own work focuses on elevating Black voices in progressive politics.

The Collective PAC’s overarching mission is simple: build Black political power. Their work takes a variety of forms, from on-the-ground voter mobilization and GOTV efforts to empowering Black candidates through endorsements. They also work to recruit Black candidates to elections around the country in support of closing the racial gap in political representation.

So this month’s NDTC Expert Q&A: Black Voices for Grassroots Change brings together organizing veterans to discuss their own experiences out in the field. Their backgrounds span elected local office to student civic engagement, so you are truly in for a lively, substantive discussion.
