One week before the 2022 mid-term election, the opponents of LGBTQ+ equality spent over $50 million in anti-LGBTQ+ radio, TV, digital, and mail ads intended to leverage perceived homophobia and transphobia in the Black community as a tactic to persuade Black voters to support their candidates and causes. Black LGBTQ+/same-gender loving leaders of national LGBTQ+ equality organizations commissioned HIT Strategies to produce a first-of-its-kind study of Black voter values, policy priorities, and attitudes toward the Black LGBTQ+/SGL community to inform and shape resources to inoculate Black voters less familiar with the LGBTQ+ community from the harmful messages employed in the last election. The study's results provide a roadmap to guide civic engagement and democracy-related organizations in their work to turn out the Black vote in the general election this year. NBJC's Director of Public Policy and Programs, Victoria Kirby York, has been invited to provide a nonpartisan discussion of the report's findings. We hope you will join us!
