One Vote, One Voice
The Houston Black American Democrats wants to Educate, Empower and Engage black voters in our community in order to make our collective voices heard! Our voter empowerment program also seeks to engage and train a new generation of civic leaders and political activists. We also seek to register and empower voters of all ages to vote collectively for candidates that have black agenda in the forefront of their platforms. Through our One Vote One Vote initiative, students, community advocates and young professionals have gained essential tools that enable them to lead their communities to participate fully in the democratic process, focused on attaining greater social and economic justice in the Black Community.
