(opens in new tab) (If you're not registered to vote yet, take two minutes to do so here (opens in new tab).) Black people are tired (opens in new tab), but these candidates, below, are dedicating themselves to their communities and their country—consistently putting in the work to remind us that Black lives have and always will matter.

Here, with the help of organizations like Higher Heights for America (opens in new tab), Vote Run Lead (opens in new tab), Emerge America (opens in new tab), the LGBTQ Victory Fund (opens in new tab), and more, Marie Claire compiled a list of mostly Democratic and non-partisan Black candidates running for office at the local, state, and federal level across the country in 2020. We encourage you to educate yourself about these candidates and their opponents by clicking the "learn more" button underneath each candidate to make an informed decision at the polls. By no means is this a comprehensive list of who's running for office, and we will continue to update this piece throughout the year as elections occur.
