Join the National Democratic Training Committee, Thursday, Jan. 18 9-10am AKST on Zoom because the 2024 campaign kicks off now! President Joe Biden’s reelection is at the top of the ticket, but momentum from Democrats at every level is needed to support his victory. What message will resonate best with voters? How can local communities adapt and integrate with national campaigns based on local needs? These questions and more will be addressed in this month’s NDTC Expert Q&A. We’re bringing together presidential campaign experts and veterans to discuss how top-of-the-ballot messaging and strategy can influence down-ballot campaigns. In a year and campaign that’s as important as this one, alignment across the board is more important than ever! Whether you are a candidate, a campaign staffer, or a local leader, everyone on a campaign can benefit from understanding how to translate topline messages and priorities into their own grassroots community.

The Alaska Black Caucus Martin Luther King Community-Wide Celebration "Solidarity Weekend" (Community Event)
2024-01-15 16:00 - 19:30 | East Anchorage High School, 4025 E Northern Lights Blvd, Anchorage, AK, 99508, United States
Sponsorshipshttps://docs.google.com/…/1FAIpQLSf6xTFazvx…/viewform…MLK, Jr Day – Volunteeringhttps://form.jotform.com/233434512689158The Alaska Black Caucus is proud to present the second annual Martin Luther King Community-Wide Celebration “Solidarity Weekend,” showcasing Alaska’s cultural performances while promoting the importance of VOTING on Monday, January 15th, 6:30 PM at the Bettye Davis East Anchorage High School. This is a free event.“In Selma,” King wrote, “we see a classic pattern of disenfranchisement typical of the Southern Black Belt areas where Negroes are in the majority” (King, “Selma—The Shame and the Promise”). In addition to facing arbitrary literacy tests and poll taxes, African Americans in Selma and other southern towns were intimidated, harassed, and assaulted when they sought to register to vote. Civil rights activists met with fierce resistance to their campaign, which attracted national attention on 7 March 1965, when civil rights workers were brutally attacked by white law enforcement officers on a march from Selma to Montgomery.Johnson introduced the Voting Rights Act that same month, “with the outrage of Selma still fresh” (Johnson, “Remarks in the Capitol Rotunda”). In just over four months, Congress passed the bill. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 abolished literacy tests and poll taxes designed to disenfranchise African American voters and gave the federal government the authority to take over voter registration in counties with a pattern of persistent discrimination. “This law covers many pages,” Johnson said before signing the bill, “but the heart of the act is plain. Wherever, by clear and objective standards, States and counties are using regulations, or laws, or tests to deny the right to vote, then they will be struck down” (Johnson, “Remarks in the Capitol Rotunda”).On the same day Johnson signed the bill, he announced that his attorney general, Nicholas Katzenbach, would initiate lawsuits against four states that still required a poll tax to register. Although King called the law “a great step forward in removing all of the remaining obstacles to the right to vote,” he knew that the ballot would only be an effective tool for social change if potential voters rid themselves of the fear associated with voting (King, 5 August 1965). To meet this goal and “rid the American body politic of racism,” SCLC developed its Political Education and Voter Registration Department (King, “Annual Report”).
