It's not enough to demand justice for a week and simply move on. If we want to make real change in this country, that change needs to be reflected in our leaders, starting at the local level. (If you're not registered to vote yet, take two minutes to do so here.) Black people are tired, 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, Vote Run Lead, Emerge America, the LGBTQ Victory Fund, 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.
