UK Black Caucus

Black Americans are active in all walks of life, all over the world, including here in the UK. We serve our country overseas, we are corporate and NGO leaders and employees, we are academics, government representatives, entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, and families. African American expats have a long and well-established footprint of leadership and excellence. We make invaluable contributions to Democrats Abroad UK, Democrats Abroad, the Democratic Party, and society at large.

Our humanity matters, our lives matter, our rights matter, our votes matter.
