Texas is home to the largest Black population in the country, with 3.9 million Black folks driving the culture, raising our children, and building the present and future of this state. It’s also home to the largest number of Black registered voters in the country, 2.1 million, with another 400,000 that are eligible to vote but not registered.
BlackTOP, a project of TOP PAC, is outreaching to ⅔ (1.4 million) of those eligible voters in the ten counties with the densest concentration of Black Texan voters:
By bringing these Black Texan voters into the conversation and making sure their voices are heard, we’ll deliver progressive wins up and down the ballot, maintain 2018 historic levels of Black participation at the ballot box, increase Black voter turnout in Collin, Denton, Jefferson and Bell counties, and more.

Texas has the highest number of Black voters in the country and it’s time for Black voices to be heard, both at the ballot box and in the halls of government.
