Young Black lawyers coalition works to boost voter turnout in Detroit

DETROIT – With Michigan’s governor’s race at the top of the ticket, one group is making sure no voice goes unheard before polls open.

Members of the Young Black Lawyers Organizing Coalition have been visiting barber shops and churches across Detroit, spreading a simple but powerful message: Your vote matters.

“Our education work is really about empowerment and it’s about making sure that people understand that democracy matters,” said Abdul Dosunmu, founder of YBLOC.

At Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church on Detroit’s west side, the coalition connected with hundreds of people in the Black community during Sunday service.
