2026 Statewide Initiatives

Organize | Strategize | Mobilize

Building Power. Protecting Democracy. Turning Out the Vote.

The Texas Coalition of Black Democrats launched a bold slate of statewide initiatives to ensure that Black voters across Texas are informed, engaged, and empowered heading into the 2026 mid-term election. Our mission: increase Black voter turnout by at least 22% statewide compared to 2024.

Statewide Voter Registration & Education Drive

Register 150,000 new Black voters in Texas by October 2026. In partnership with churches, HBCUs, community centers, barbershops/salons, and civic groups we will conduct voter registration events.

Black Voter Turnout Campaign – “Our Power, Our Vote”

Increase turnout of registered Black voters by 22% over 2024. TCBD Voter contact goal is to reach 1.5 million Black voters through canvassing, phone banking, and digital engagement. TCBD will build on the current statewide infrastructure and coordinate with Texas Democratic Party’s outreach.

Youth & HBCU Engagement Program

TCBD will establish HBCU campus coordinators at Prairie View A&M, Texas Southern, Jarvis Christian, Huston-Tillotson, and Paul Quinn. The coalition will assist the campus in hosting debates, voter education summits, and campus marches to the polls. The goal is to engage 50,000 Black youth voters (ages 18–25) across Texas.

Faith & Community Leaders Mobilization

TCBD will secure 500 churches and 250 community organizations committed to voter mobilization. The coalition will assist in refining the “Souls to the Polls” statewide program with clergy and community leaders. Training and resource toolkits will be provided for community organizers.

TCBD Candidate Campaign Training Program

TCBD will launch a structured campaign school offering workshops on fundraising, messaging, digital strategy, compliance, and field operations. Building infrastructure means increasing turnout, and preparing candidates that are ready to lead.

TCBD 2026 Coordinated Campaign

In partnership with the Texas Democratic Party to coordinate GOTV, communications, and field operations across local, state, and federal races to maximize Democratic performance in Black precincts.
