The Black Vote in 2026: Turnout, Resistance and the Fight for Representation

Live Friday, October 2, 2026 | 11am PST

Overview

Black voters remain the Democratic Party’s most loyal constituency, but loyalty does not automatically guarantee enthusiasm or turnout. As the midterms approach, economic concerns and political disillusionment—particularly among some younger Black voters and Black men—are colliding with heightened urgency over voting rights, racial justice, and representation.

Will opposition to the Trump administration translate into turnout? And will Black voters be able to convert their electoral strength into meaningful political power?

Guest Speakers

  • Dr. Andra Gillespie, Political scientist at Emory University specializing in Black politics and electoral behavior
  • Michael Bland, Executive Director, Black Men Vote
  • Evan Milligan, Voting-rights advocate; lead plaintiff in Allen v. Milligan; founder and former executive director of Alabama Forward
