Building a movement
to protect Black ballots and Black futures

Black voters today confront a new era of voter suppression that threatens our political power.

The Young Black Lawyers’ Organizing Coalition (YBLOC) is a nonpartisan movement of young Black lawyers and law students committed to protecting and empowering Black electoral voice. During the 2020 general election, we mobilized 1,000 young Black lawyers and law students to protect and empower Black voters in seven focus states: Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Texas, Georgia, South Carolina and Arkansas. Our work is just beginning. As we activate for sustained movement and impact in this crucial season for our democracy, we are calling on all young Black lawyers and law students to join our fight.

Leadership

The Young Black Lawyers’ Organizing Coalition (YBLOC) was founded by Abdul Dosunmu in 2019, and is led by Abdul and a dedicated team.
