What Are Midterm Elections?
Midterm elections happen every 2 years.
They take place in the years when the president is not on the ballot, but leaders who make decisions about our everyday lives are.
In midterm elections, we vote for:
-
All U.S. House members (who write and pass federal laws and budgets)
-
Some U.S. Senators (who confirm judges and write and pass federal laws and budgets)
-
Some Governors & state lawmakers (who control budgets, schools, Medicaid, and voting laws)
-
Local offices & ballot measures (what directly affects your community)
-
Midterms are not “off-year” elections. They are power-deciding elections. When Black voters vote, Black communities win.
MIDTERM VOTER INFORMATION
GEORGIA
The 2026 election is a turning point for Georgia. It will determine whether power remains concentrated in the hands of the legislature or whether voters reclaim a government that listens to the people. Black voters will decide this outcome. By flipping just a few key districts, electing fair-minded judges, and showing up in record numbers, Georgia can build a government that protects voting rights, invests in communities, and ensures justice for everyone.

NORTH CAROLINA
The 2026 election will decide whether the people or the politicians hold the power in North Carolina. Over the past 15 years, the General Assembly has worked to weaken the Governor, silence voters, and centralize control in its own hands. By voting in 2026, Black North Carolinians have the chance to change that story.
Every vote will help determine whether we build a state where power is shared, voices are heard, and the future belongs to the people and not the politicians in Raleigh.

Endorse The Black Economic Agenda
The Black Economic Agenda is a series of policy solutions for each area where we see the most pressing needs, based on what Black Census respondents shared, and where there is potential for immediate impact on people’s lives. For this agenda we focus on state solutions that governors and legislatures can use to help improve the conditions for Black people in their states.
