LOS ANGELES (February 20, 2020) -- Today, at META:2020, the National Urban League announced #ReclaimYourVote, a social change campaign in partnership with BET Networks committed to harnessing Black collective power and increasing Black participation in the 2020 Census and the 2020 Election.
The nationwide #ReclaimYourVote campaign will layout the most significant issues, break down otherwise confusing processes, and highlight specific ways where we can reclaim our collective power by harnessing the power of media, entertainment, and technology to drive civic engagement. #ReclaimYourVote will leverage this opportunity through community activations, television spots, compelling print, social and digital media platforms and urge the Black community to be counted in the census and to take a stand and vote.
