Frequently Asked Questions
A: It is a national day for Black men to vote together. This year, it falls on Saturday, October 24, 2026, during early voting.

A: We looked at early voting windows in every state and picked the day that reaches the most Black men. We will pick the date the same way every year going forward.
A: No. This is a nonpartisan effort. We do not tell anyone who to vote for or which party to join. The goal is for brothers to be informed, be engaged, and show up, nothing more, nothing less.
No. This is for all Black men, not just people already inside an organization. Anyone can join in, and everyone is welcome.
Vote. Beyond that, pick one way to give back: run for office, mentor a young man, advocate for a policy that helps Black men, work the polls, or organize a group of brothers in your own community.
