Advance 2026
The Black Empowerment Agenda
Welcome to Advance 2026, a transformative initiative committed to empowering African American communities by addressing the systemic barriers that have held us back for generations. Our policies are designed to bring about real, lasting change in the areas of law, economics, and education. With your support, we can build a movement that ensures these policies are not just ideas but realities—implemented at the highest levels of government.
We endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for President, but this is not a blank check. We will demand the Harris Administration implement Advance 2026, a bold agenda focused on empowering African Americans by ensuring justice in the legal system, expanding economic opportunities, and advancing educational equality. Our mission is to strengthen African American families and neighborhoods across the nation.
Our Mission
At Advance 2026, our mission is to empower African Americans in the fight for full equality by focusing on justice, economic opportunity, and educational equity. We believe that by building a strong, united movement, we can influence the policies that shape our lives and ensure that our voices are heard. As we look ahead to the 2026 elections, our goal is to work tirelessly to have our policies adopted by leaders like Vice President Kamala Harris if she is elected, ensuring that our communities thrive and succeed.
