Civic Engagement Campaign · 2025–2026
A National Urban League Initiative

Reclaim Your Vote. Now!

Reclaim Your Vote. Now! is a grassroots civic engagement campaign powered by the National Urban League and its 90+ affiliates — fueling voter education, registration, mobilization, and protection in every community we serve.

Our North Star

We are going to increase Black voter turnout this cycle — and your support is how we do it.

Every dollar funds the canvassers, the rides, the training, and the protection that get our communities to the ballot and keep them on the rolls. Here is exactly where your gift goes.

The Moment

The Stakes Have Never Been Higher.

Across America, the foundations of civic life are under pressure. The cost of living is surging. Healthcare is out of reach for millions. Schools are underfunded. Critical social services are being cut. And at the very moment when communities need the government to work for them most, many Americans feel more overlooked from the political process than ever.

But it doesn't have to stay this way.

Your voice, your vote, and your action can make the difference. Too many people are on the sidelines, uncertain whether they are being heard, worried about the rights and opportunities they have worked hard to secure, and anxious about the future of their families and communities. Now is the time to step forward.

The stakes are real and so is our power to change the course of the future. Stand up, speak out, and get involved. Together, we can rebuild our communities, protect our rights, and create the future we all deserve.

How We Do the Work

Three pillars. One mission.

i.

Civic Participation

Voter education, registration, and mobilization — helping communities understand the power of their voice and their vote, and getting them to the polls when it counts.

ii.

Community Advocacy

Protecting access, connecting communities to trusted resources, and helping people navigate the systems and policies that shape their daily lives.

iii.

Economic Opportunity

The outcome of civic action — financial stability, workforce development, small business support, and wealth-building that helps communities thrive.

The Stakes

What is at risk — and what we have already protected.

The cost of inaction shows up in your grocery bill, your clinic, your child's classroom. But the cost of organized action shows up in the wins. Here is what both sides of that ledger look like right now.

1 in 5
Black voters report facing a barrier — wait times, ID rules, polling-place changes — the last time they tried to cast a ballot.
$3,200
The average annual hit a working family takes when state decisions cut Medicaid access, SNAP benefits, or housing assistance.
49%
Of eligible Black voters under 30 did not cast a ballot in the last cycle. That is the gap this campaign is built to close.
A Recent Win
We held the line in South Carolina.

When Congressman Jim Clyburn's district was redrawn in a way that threatened Black representation, our South Carolina affiliate coordinated with the ACLU and local organizers on the ground. The seat was protected. That is what this campaign funds — coordinated, fast, in-community response when it matters.

The work that protects our communities is funded by the people in them.

Your gift is what keeps a canvasser on doors, a monitor at a poll, and a ride at the curb on election day.

Where Your Money Goes

Every dollar funds someone, somewhere, doing the work.

No overhead theater. No abstract program lines. Here is what your gift covers, on the ground, this week.

Anonymous Resistance

You do not have to be loud to be in this fight.

A $25 gift from a church usher. A $10 recurring chip-in from a college student. A $5,000 contribution from a Boule member at a Mark H. Morial event. Every one of those gifts moves the same canvasser to the same door. Give publicly. Give privately. Just give — because right now, the only people who can fund the work that protects our communities are the people in them.
