As the 2024 election season intensifies, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation (CBCF) is preparing to host its 53rd Annual Legislative Conference (ALC), and officials said the gathering has never been more critical for Black America.

With the theme “From Vision to Victory: Amplifying Black Voices,” this year’s conference arrives at a moment when the stakes for Black political and social progress are at their highest, and the future of the nation hangs in the balance.

The CBCF’s mission is clear: to advance the global Black community by cultivating leadership, informing policy, and educating the public. Through its annual legislative conference, the CBCF creates a platform where ideas are exchanged, and solutions are crafted to address the most pressing issues facing African Americans today. This year’s ALC will feature more than 100 in-person issue forums and established brain trusts, with select virtual programming designed to propel Black voices from vision to victory in the fight for social justice, economic equality, and political representation.
