Championing Black men in South Florida
Black Men Win Together looks to forge a power alliance among Black men in South Florida, championing an agenda that empowers and advocates for their active participation in the political process. We are dedicated to amplifying the collective voices of Black Men to drive meaningful change across the African Diaspora of South Florida.
The event will provide a vibrant community atmosphere. It will feature food trucks and merchandise vendors, musical performances, and informative presentations. In addition, educational programming, voter verification and registration, fact-checking of candidate statements, and discussions on critical issues. Attendees are encouraged to bring their tents, tables, and food.
“We are excited to launch the Black Men Win Tailgate,” said co-founder of Black Men Win Together, Ed Ponder. “We are creating a space where Black men can share knowledge, build community, and drive meaningful change.”
“Black Futures are dependent upon us” Ted Lucas.
Eric Knowles, co-founder of the South Florida Black Prosperity Alliance, added, “I believe this is starting a legacy. It’s making history. It means a lot for a group of Black men to have a vision and for others to come on board to push and highlight that vision. We don’t always have safe places for Black men to collaborate and support each other. We’re all in this together.”
“Being a part of Black men getting together and empowering each other fuels me,” said Jefferson Noel, Founder of Barbershop Speaks.
