About Us
Family, welcome to Blacks4Democracy.org!
I’m Jay Hines, the founder of Blacks4Democracy. Like many of you, I’ve been deeply troubled by the amount of misinformation surrounding the 2024 Presidential election and the reasons people are choosing certain candidates—or opting out of voting altogether. After a lot of reflection and prayer, I felt a responsibility to create this platform. This site is dedicated to sharing truthful, fact-based information that our Black community can trust and use to make informed decisions.
My goal isn’t to tell you who to vote for, but to provide you with the facts—backed by evidence—about a wide range of topics affecting us all. Here on Blacks4Democracy.org, we’ll cover crucial issues, including:
- The history of Black voting rights and how our community has fought to have a voice in democracy.
- Profiles of politicians—who they are, what they stand for, and how their policies impact us.
- New laws and policies that could affect our community, from voter ID laws to redistricting efforts.
- What’s on the ballot, from presidential races to local elections that shape our everyday lives.
In addition to political news, we’ll also dive into other issues affecting our community, such as mental health, economic justice, and social equity. These topics are deeply interconnected with our political engagement, and understanding them is vital to creating a future where we can all thrive.
This journey isn’t just about educating ourselves—it’s about empowering one another and making sure our voices are heard. I invite you to join us as we work together to strengthen our understanding of democracy and make informed decisions that can uplift our community.
Stay informed, stay engaged, and let’s build a future where democracy works for us all.
With love and solidarity,
Jay Hines
