Join the Ohio Young Black Democrats this Saturday in Cincinnati for our Turn Up for Voting Rights block party!

Today is the 51st Anniversary of the March on Washington and Dr. Martin Lu­ther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech. As we reflect on the triumphs and challenges of those who came before us, we cannot forget that there is still much work to be done to promote equality, race relations, voting rights and jobs. We must also fight for openness and fair­ness in our political system to ensure that everyone has a chance at the American Dream. That is why we have called for a new civil rights movement, and we will not rest until our right to vote is enshrined in our constitution.
