Community Activism
Our campaign is built on a strong foundation of grassroots organizing – of friends talking to friends, neighbors talking to neighbors, and ordinary Americans working for change in their communities. Constituency groups play a key role in this movement, as they connect Americans in distinct communities with others who share their goals for change.
In the African American constituency video, Barack speaks about his time as a community organizer in minority communities. His supporters say Barack “know the importance of registering and getting out the vote.” And, they realize “he can’t win without us.”Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

Is Race the Big Issue?
“I’m here because somebody marched. I’m here because you all sacrificed for me. I stand on the shoulders of giants.”— Barack Obama, 2007 Selma Voting Rights March Commemoration
It is an exciting time for African Americans, who will play a pivotal role in this election. We want to ensure that you have what you need to share your ideas and turn your enthusiasm for Barack into action that can help lift up your families and communities.
There is no better advocate for African Americans than Barack Obama. Barack knows your story, because it is his story. The causes that you hold dear have been the causes of his life. Barack has spent his entire career fighting for justice — as a community organizer in the streets of the South Side of Chicago, as a civil rights attorney, a constitutional law professor, an Illinois state Senator and a U.S. Senator.
As President, you can trust that he will hear your voice, understand your concerns, and act on
your priorities.
