Full Bio
At the intersection of social justice, political empowerment, human development and the cultural arts one will find LaTosha Brown. As a catalyst for change, thought leader and social strategist, her national and global efforts have been known to organize, inspire and catapult people into action—not just lip service—enabling them to build power and wealth for themselves and their community. Honored to receive the 2010 White House Champion of Change Award, the 2006 Spirit of Democracy Award and the Louis Burnham Award for Human Rights, it is more than evident that Brown is passionate about leading social change for the purpose of advancing humanity, creating a more equitable redistribution of wealth and power around the globe.
In 2016, LaTosha Brown co-founded Black Voters Matter and the Black Voters Matter Fund with fellow activist Cliff Albright. Over the last couple of years, Brown’s work with the organization has left an indelible mark on the South. In 2017, the organization’s work helped then-Democratic nominee Doug Jones defeat Roy Moore in Alabama’s Senate race, though he went on to lose re-election in the reliably Republican district in 2020. In the 2020 campaign cycle, Black Voters Matter, alongside Stacey Abrams’s Fair Fight and Nse Ufot’s The New Georgia Project, have been credited with helping to turn Georgia blue for the first time in 28 years.
Next up for Brown and her organization is Alabama. Even though the country is still adjusting to a new president, historic vice president, and new Senate leadership, Brown is already looking toward making some changes happen in her home state. Even with states still trying to enact voter suppression tactics — after this past election cycle, at least 26 states have introduced legislation that would make voting harder — Brown is determined to fight against the tactics for citizens who have the right to vote and to also help people like former inmates regain their right to vote.
Brown not only wants to see this administration tackle voting rights, but she’d also like to see sweeping change within the criminal justice system. With Biden and Harris’ combined experience, Brown feels they could be transformative when it comes to criminal justice reform. Finally, Brown wants to see the administration — and the Democratic Party at large — reward all of the work Black women have done to turn out the vote and help swing elections by supporting candidates and placing Black women in positions of power.
