ABOUT BVM: Our goal is to increase power in marginalized, predominantly Black communities. We agree with the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. when he said, "Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love." We operate with the following 5 core beliefs:

• The key to effective civic engagement and community power is understanding, respecting and supporting local infrastructure.
• Black voters matter not only on election day, but on all 365 days of the year. This means we must support individuals and organizations that are striving to obtain social justice throughout the year.
• Black voters matter *everywhere*, including rural counties and smaller cities/towns that are often ignored by candidates, elected officials, political parties and the media.
• In order for Black voters to matter, we must utilize authentic messaging which speaks to our issues, connects with our hopes and affirms our humanity.
• The leadership, talent and commitment demonstrated by Black women in particular must receive recognition and, more importantly, *investment* in order to flourish and multiply.

This position also supports Black Voters Matter Fund (BVMF), an affiliated 501(c)(4) advocacy organization. While motivated by the same core values – power building, equity and justice – BVM and BVMF operate independently of one another, and each organization has its own board of directors.
