The Black Church PAC is playing a crucial role in boosting Black voter turnout ahead of the 2024 U.S. election. With just weeks remaining, the organization is actively mobilizing Black voters.
To accomplish this, they have launched the “100K Strong: Knock for Change, Vote for Justice” initiative.
“The Black Church has always been at the forefront of justice and liberation,” said Pastor Mike McBride, co-founder of the Black Church PAC, in a press release. “100K Strong is about knocking on doors not only to register voters but also to ignite the change that will shape our future after Election Day. This movement will extend beyond November, ensuring that every Black life and vote is valued and respected.”

The 100K Strong campaign is part of a broader effort to continue the legacy of Black churches mobilizing “Souls to the Polls” through voter rights advocacy and education.
“100K Strong isn’t just about numbers; it’s about power,” said Bishop Edgar Vann II of Second Ebenezer Church. “In Wayne County, we’re working to empower our community to exercise their rights and make informed decisions that protect their families and futures. With this being one of the most pivotal presidential elections of our time, it’s crucial that we all stand up and be counted this November.”
The Black Church PAC, a coalition rooted in the Black church, includes faith leaders, influencers, artists, and lay members. They are committed to using the political power of the Black church to influence national and local elections, engage Black communities in the political process, advocate for policies that reflect their values, and empower new generations of leadership.
