Hey, it’s The Collective PAC! We’re reaching out because we’re inviting you to join us at the Essence Festival of Culture on July 3rd and July 4th!
We have two events occurring in New Orleans next week, and we’d love to see you there! Please, take a moment to read more about our events below:
On Friday, An Afternoon with The Collective PAC is a chance to:
🔷 Connect with the nation’s largest political action committee dedicated to electing Black candidates
🔷 Hear directly from founders Stefanie Brown James and Quentin James
🔷 Learn how to invest in Black political power ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
It will be an intentional gathering of leaders committed to building and sustaining power for our communities.
On Saturday, we hope you can join us for delicious food and cocktails at the 4th Annual Collective Power Brunch!
This dynamic event will bring together changemakers, leaders, and visionaries from across the country as we honor the legacy and resilience of Black leadership.
The 4th Annual Collective Power Brunch Honorees include:
Ashley Allison, The Root
Power Rising
Rev. Shavon Arline-Bradley, National Council of Negro Women
Mayor Steven Reed, City of Montgomery, AL
Louisiana Legislative Black Caucus
Damon Hewitt, Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights
In 2026 alone, The Collective PAC has endorsed over 100+ Black candidates at every level of government.
We are strategically focused on creating a truly equitable democracy where our nation’s local, state, and federal governments have diverse and talented elected leadership.
A truly equitable democracy means Black people are fully represented in positions of power – and are able to create the policies necessary to move our communities forward.
But we’re not waiting for someone else to step in.
We’re recruiting candidates, training leaders, investing in campaigns, and building the infrastructure needed to win races up and down the ballot.
And we depend on grassroots support to elect bold, Black Democrats who will stand up to Donald Trump and give us the representation we deserve.
Every dollar donated helps fund our voter outreach, candidate support, and campaign operations needed to build Black political power.
Thank you!
The Collective PAC
