Black lives matter

Saving our rights — and our democracy — begins at the ballot box. Let’s make sure we’re informed and ready to vote on Nov. 3 (or earlier!).

The mission of Melanated Minds: The Ballot Breakdown is to create a welcoming, nonpartisan space where our community can better understand what’s on the ballot. Through education, open dialogue, and access to reliable information, we empower participants to ask questions, understand the issues and candidates, and make informed voting decisions based on what matters most to them.

Become an educated voter - less panic, more disco at the ballots.

We’re oppressed and we’re tired of it. We want equity for all. All are welcome as long as you’re kind.

Building community, knowledge, & understanding through conversation. We believe Black Lives Matter, no human is illegal, love is love, gender is a social construct, science saves lives, reproductive rights are human rights, & water is life.
