Public Policy & Education: Real Men Vote - From the Streets to the Suites - Engaging Black Males to Vote and strategizing collaboratively to protect our Black History.
Overview: Voter literacy and engagement is essential now more than ever! This workshop will provide an overview of the “Real Men Vote Initiative,” which focuses on a universal-wide approach to empowering the members of the 100 to develop effective voting strategies. These strategies will address national and local conversations around DEI and the anti-affirmative action movement (i.e., the recent Supreme Court ruling on Affirmative Action and to develop a collaborative approach with strategic partners to support the John Lewis Voters Rights Act). The strategies can be taken back to their chapters and communities for implementation.
