Welcome to the DAF Black Caucus


Welcome to Democrats Abroad France Black Caucus!

In 2024, Democrats Abroad France created a Black Caucus to bring our community together to address the legislative issues that negatively impact African Americans and communities of color in the United States. The caucus hosts events to reach the African American community in France.
