“The Ballot Box and Beyond: Racism in the ‘08 Elections” was a non-partisan campaign in 2008 to:

  • Call out the ways racism pervades the national dialogue surrounding the elections, and especially how white privilege goes unexamined.
  • Engage with the excitement connected to the election to help build a movement for social, racial, economic and environmental justice. A lot of folks are politically enthusiastic right now… so how to we keep that excitement alive and funnel it into grassroots efforts after the election?
  • Use this political moment to encourage white people in particular to take a stand against racism in their communities by committing to anti-racist practice and study.
  • Recognize and celebrate the many grassroots responses against racism this presidential cycle

Some of the campaign organizing tools can be seen below:
