📜 Guest Presentation: “The Constitution and the Electoral Process”
What is the real purpose of the Electoral College? Why does it still matter, and what impact does it have on your vote? Our expert speaker will provide an in-depth look at the Electoral College, its historical significance, and its role in today’s political landscape.
🗳️ Put the Electoral College Back Into Play: The Power of Your Vote & the Road Ahead
Join Us for an Evening of Civic Engagement: Fun, Trivia, Networking, Prizes & Caribbean Cuisine!
As the future of our democracy continues to evolve, it's crucial that we stay informed, engaged, and ready to take action. Your vote plays a pivotal role—not only in electing officials but in shaping the very system that governs us. Let’s take a deep dive into the issues and reclaim the power of the Electoral College to ensure every voice counts.
In a dynamic evening of political education, dialogue, and community empowerment. Together, we’ll explore:
🔑 Civic Paths Forward:
- Powering Community Organization:
How can we harness grassroots movements to create lasting change? Learn how to effectively organize and advocate for the issues that impact us the most.
- The Role of the Church in Politics:
Does the church still hold the same political influence it once did? We’ll examine its evolving role in political discourse and action in the Black community.
- Have the Intellectuals Disappeared?
With today's political controversies surrounding issues like the Electoral College, has intellectual thought been sidelined in favor of partisan rhetoric? Let’s critically engage with the complex questions shaping our democracy.
- Energizing the Black Community Forward:
From historical struggles to future victories, we’ll discuss how the Black community can continue to push the envelope on political engagement. Get energized as we look at initiatives like the HBCU Awards and the BET December 1st celebration that highlight our ongoing power and influence.
In addition to engaging discussions, we'll have:
✅ Fun Trivia & Prizes – Test your knowledge of civics and history, and win exciting prizes!
🌐 Networking – Connect with activists, organizers, and community leaders to build a stronger, more engaged network.
🍽️ Caribbean Cuisine – Savor delicious Caribbean dishes while you engage in meaningful conversations.
This evening is designed to empower you with the knowledge and tools to engage in political action, spark change, and hold our democracy accountable. You were part of the process when you cast your vote—now let’s talk about how to make it count at every step.
