With 26 days to go to the November mid-term election, and only a few months until the February 2023 municipal election, COAL is joined by a coalition of committed organizations, to share the Coalition Voter Project, to promote voter engagement and civic participation by our collective membership and the greater community.

Therefor we must

COAL, joined by a coalition of committed organizations, presents the Coalition Voter Project. Programs, activities and communications, to encourage and facilitate voter registration, education, engagement and mobilization.

We believe in the importance of our hard-won right to vote, that voting is our voice, and that our collective voice, when voiced effectively and in large numbers, represents power. Power to make real, substantive and lasting change, to make life better for all of our community.

With the goal of every single eligible person in the community being registered to vote, as a solid foundation to build upon, we present

Membership100 and Family100 Voter Registration Programs.

These programs are in the process of being automated, however, for now, please download, using either above link, to get your organization or your family and you going, or view here or here.

The Coalition Voter Project, and its component programs and activities, not only ask that organizations and groups and individuals work to understand the issues and to commit to taking action…

But essentially calls on each of us, to step up, gather the family, and to talk. Talk about our responsibility to and for each other, to make things better for the family. Talk about our responsibility to and for our community and to and for our next generations, to make things better.

The Coalition Voter Project calls upon each of us, to step up, and with our family, to act. To take action to make things better. The simple act of registering to vote, and then to vote, is about our responsibility to family, to community, to our next generations, to make things better...

To force those we put in office, to do their jobs, to be the public servants we pay them to be, to follow through on the promises they made to make things better.

The powers that be want us to believe that the system cannot be made to work for us; they want us to give up, want us to get tired, want us to get distracted, want us to lose faith.

We refuse to, we won’t.

These programs are about each of us, with the sacrifice of our forefathers and foremothers standing behind us, the strength of our family and community beside us, and the wellbeing of our next generations ahead of us, taking a simple action to make things better.

Register to vote, then vote.

Barriers to opportunity, we’re coming to knock you down.

Issues and problems, we’re coming to address and resolve every one of you.

Equity and parity, we’re coming to make you the law of the land.

Register to vote, then vote.

Bums in office, ineffective officeholders, self-serving politicians, bought and sold officials, those that don’t have the courage to deliver for the Black community, we’re coming for you.

Register to vote, then vote.

Those willing and able to work to address our most intransigent problems, those willing to meet their commitments, those with the courage and real plans to improve the lives of Black folk, we are coming to elect and re-elect you.

Register to vote, then vote.

This is about good education, good housing, good jobs, good health, good business, good community services, real safety and real justice.

Register to vote, then vote.

This is about stepping up and taking ownership of our family, our community, our future.

Register to vote, then vote.

The Coalition of African American Leaders believes that it is important to examine the critical issues confronting the African American community where injustice, inequality and the absence of access and opportunity continue to prevail, thereby negatively impacting us as a people.
