BlackLivesMatter co-founder aliciagarza talked to YoonjKim about her sweeping new vision to empower young, Black voters in time for the November election

, a coalition of over 50 organizations representing thousands of Black people nationally, placing Garza at the front of a turning point for social justice activism.

Often during election cycles, Black communities get lectured a lot about why we should vote without telling the truth about what's at stake for our communities. It makes sense that this is not a process that we all always feel good about. And frankly, we are also making sure that we're approaching Black voter engagement not from a symbolic perspective, but from a substantive one.

They impact everyone, but there are specific and unique barriers that keep Black communities from being able to access these things, and one of those specific barriers is racism. So when we talk about expanding the middle class, we have to remember that the gap between Black wealth and white wealth is vast.

MTV News: Do you think that we can see the same level of young, Black voter engagement that we did back when Obama was running for office?: It’s going to depend upon a few things, [like] deep investments in Black infrastructure and organizations that are connected to Black, young people. It’s going to depend on making sure that the issues that young people care about are front and center in this election cycle.
