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 network of young Black lawyers and law students from around the country who are using our knowledge to help safeguard Black voting rights. To ensure that Black voters are able to freely and fully participate in the 2020 elections, we are mobilizing 1,000 young Black lawyers and law students to protect and empower 500,000 Black voters, with a focus on six key target states: Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Texas, Georgia and South Carolina. 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 team of dedicated young Black lawyers and law students.
