As you start your evening, did you happen to catch morningjoe on MSNBC this morning?

ICYMI #ESSENCE Ventures President and CEO Caroline Wanga (wangawoman) and globalblackeconomicforum President and CEO Alphonso David (alphonsodavid) appeared on MSNBC’s “MorningJoe.” They unveiled an exclusive September/October essence subscriber’s cover featuring vp kamalaharris and the #ChiefToChief she participated in at this year’s 30th Anniversary essencefest in cityofnola.

More importantly they discussed the #SundialGroupOfCompanies #PaintThePollsBlack initiative focused on mitigating historic voter suppression that has targeted Black voters. Offering resources that educate and register Black voters to show up at the polls and vote for what we want to be true for our community’s constituents. Provide insights on protecting our individual right to vote by teaching how to identify and rectify covert efforts to thwart and misguide our civic engagement. 

Visit our “Paint The Polls Black” voter hub or learn more and stay informed on events, tools and resources to equip you with the accurate and timely ways to create the change you want to see in home, culture and community.

Also, subscribe to ESSENCE magazine, with the link in the bio, to get your own copy of the collector edition cover featuring the presumed democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris that subscribers will begin to receive the week of August 26th.

Special thanks to our friend and partner Reverend Al Sharpton (real_sharpton ) and his organization the National Action Network (nationalactionnetwork ) for joining us this morning.
