Background
Black Voters Matter Fund is a voter mobilisation and civic engagement organisation co-founded by LaTosha Brown and Cliff Albright in 2016. It focuses specifically on increasing Black political power in the South and in communities historically excluded from the political process. The organisation has been active in redistricting litigation and voter protection efforts that directly intersect with the 2026 midterm battles over Florida's congressional map and the DOJ voter-data lawsuits.
The Fund operates across Southern states where Black voter suppression has historically been most acute, providing direct support for voter registration, civic education, and legal challenges. It has been a prominent voice in opposing redistricting maps that reduce Black representation under the Voting Rights Act's Section 2 provisions.
The organisation gained national attention during the 2020 Georgia Senate runoffs, where its mobilisation efforts contributed to Democratic wins in what had been a reliably Republican state. Its Florida work now positions it as a likely participant in legal and political challenges to DeSantis's 24R-4D congressional map.
