The Next Generation of Black Leadership



black youth vote

Black Youth Vote! is a broad based coalition of organizations and individuals committed to increasing political and civic involvement among black men and women aged 18-35.

BYV! is youth led and dedicated to educating young voters in the Black community who are increasingly disenfranchised and alienated from the electoral and legislative process. Through civic education, leadership development and training, BYV! works to educate youth and young adults on how to identify issues and ways to influence public policy.


The Movement

NCBCP Black Youth Vote

Less about talking more about action.
Make a difference start making things happen.
You got the power to vote just use it .
Fought for this right we got to carry on the movement.
And it's the truth that it's all with the black youth.
Stand up be heard your voice counts too You got an opinion, take a position.
November 7 time to start making them listen.
And they think I'm clueless.
Think all I know is gang violence and this hip-hop music.
Are you aware of the decisions that's being made?
Medicaid, financial aid, minimum wage And the war on Iraq.
I need a candidate to fight for me 'cause we taking it back.
Be present at the election November 7 Stand and participate before it's too late.
It's the movement..Vote
