Join the GBC Team
Join the Democrats Abroad Global Black Caucus (GBC) Get Out The Vote (GOTV) Team - Helping to Achieve High Record-Breaking Voter Turnout in the US 2020 Elections.
Our goal is to reach every African American living outside of the US and Allies who are not current members of Democrats Abroad. We will help them register to vote and request their absentee ballots via votefromabroad.org and encourage them to return their ballots for the November 2020 elections.
We will encourage them to become active members of Democrats Abroad.
We will encourage them to perform GOTV efforts within their communities, networks, and alliances in the US.

Ahmaud Arbery 2.23 miles. Out for a run Some Georgia boys filled him with bullets But we don’t learn til two months later bout This ex-cop vigilante and his son
Breonna Taylor An EMT. Sleep in her bed Police rained down a storm of bullets But no cops have been indicted They arrested her watchful boyfriend, instead
George Floyd A man of character and stature Who stood for something, Killed on a curb with kneecaps in his neck The camel’s back was fractured
Land of the free Built on murder, theft, and rape Maybe collectively woke up Said “Now I see it!” Revolution’s taking shape.
Near and far, the world was sick But felt the fracture They ascended like a rapture Stepped in unison Proclaiming BLACK LIVES MATTER!
Equality don’t come on silver platters The world won’t sleep again til Black Lives Matter |
