In 2024, we are confronting a major election year with history and the rights of marginalized communities on the ballot. The disparities that Black and Brown people confront in this country are significant and growing from housing and employment to access to health care and access to capital. The Sundial Group of Companies which includes ESSENCE, the Global Black Economic Forum, Girls United, AFROPUNK, BeautyCon, Refinery29, and New Voices Foundation are coming together, along with our partners, to mobilize and ensure that we educate, mobilize and register voters to take action this November and into the future.

Our first major touchpoint will be a live virtual town hall on Thursday, August 1, 2024 where we will be launching our 2024 Paint the Polls Black™ Campaign. This campaign is tailored to provide information, address misinformation and register voters for one of the most consequential elections in our lifetimes. We will be joined by celebrities, politicians, voting and election experts and others to seize this moment. We will also be answering important questions from the public about voting, elections and the issues affecting them. The stakes are high and we want to make sure the public has the information, the resources and the support to exercise their right to vote and protect our future.
