Celebrating Black History Month with The Collective PAC
All month long, we want to elevate the work of some of our amazing partner organizations whose own work focuses on elevating Black voices in politics.
The Collective PAC’s overarching mission is simple: build Black political power. Their work takes a variety of forms, from on-the-ground voter mobilization and GOTV efforts to empowering Black candidates through endorsements. They also work to recruit Black candidates to elections around the country in support of closing the racial gap in political representation.

NDTC Expert Q&A: Black Voices for Grassroots Change Thursday, February 15 at 1pm ET
This Black History Month, we’re challenging the one-size-fits-all strategy that too many campaigns fall prey to. Black voters and communities are disproportionately targeted by voter suppression and misinformation, and it’s on candidates, staff, and volunteers to organize with intention and equity in mind.
So this month’s NDTC Expert Q&A: Black Voices for Grassroots Change brings together organizing veterans to discuss their own experiences out in the field. Their backgrounds span elected local office to student civic engagement, so you are truly in for a lively, substantive discussion.

Building a Candidate Support Plan Friday, February 23 at 1pm ET
A candidate support plan is really just a detailed document that lists the way that your local Democratic organization can provide support to the candidates that are running for office. It shows the concrete ways that your local party or org can help them win. Most importantly, it’s a living document that might adjust over time.
This training will name the components of a campaign support plan and walk through its benefits.
