As Americans head to the polls Tuesday, one concern should be front and center: What are elected officials doing with our hard-earned tax dollars? Families are working harder, stretching their budgets and making tough financial decisions. Shouldn't they expect the same fiscal responsibility from their government? Project 21's Evie Harris (Shelly E) says hardworking Americans deserve leaders who respect taxpayers and spend their money wisely. @ShellyEPopstar #midterms #Election2026

With Election Day just days away, one thing is clear: Politicians can no longer afford to take the Black vote for granted. Project 21's Janelle King explains why Black Americans are rejecting the notion that they must vote as a unified bloc — and why that shift could have major implications at the ballot box. @IAM_JanelleK @NEWSMAX @Glasgow_Jon @EmmaRechenberg #BlackVoters #midterms #BlackConversations #Midterm #ElectionDay

Election Day is days away. The consequences could last for generations. As socialism becomes part of the 2026 election debate, what's at stake for Black America's hard-won freedoms, economic opportunities and future prosperity? Building on Project 21's new publication, "What Socialism Means for Black America," our Ambassadors deliver urgent warnings about government control, dependency and the policies that could shape America's future. The stakes extend far beyond November 3.

What lessons should black Americans take from what’s happening in France — and what could it mean here at home?

On Fox News' "Hannity," Project 21 Chairman Horace Cooper said Michigan candidate Abdul El-Sayed is using identity politics to escape questions about his radical agenda.

"What do you call a society where the general populace receives government‑funded housing, health care, and children’s education, yet still lives at or below the poverty line? Where families endure generational misery while the top ten percent—the governing class—enjoy stable homes, intact families, elite schooling for their children and comfortable lives insulated from the consequences of their own policies?" asks Project 21's Kendall Qualls. "It’s not Venezuela or Cuba. It’s the inner cities of Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles and other urban cores in the U.S. "In these cities, the wealth gaps between black and Hispanic citizens and white citizens rank among the highest in the nation, with generational poverty deeply ingrained for decades. Large swaths of America’s urban cores now operate under a system that looks and functions remarkably like the socialist countries we ridicule. Government housing projects, Medicaid dependency and failing public schools dominate daily life. The results are measurable and grim: concentrated poverty that persists across generations, elevated crime, fatherless homes and diminished hope. "Meanwhile, the political class that administers these programs—mayors, council members, school administrators, nonprofit executives and community organizers—live far removed from the consequences of the policies they defend."

"There is a disconnect between nationally elected black leaders and real black people," Project 21's @LindaLeeTarver told @AFN_Network. “President Obama coming in — not being effective for the black community while president — does not serve El-Sayed in my opinion." afn.net/politics-govt/2026/1…
