Operation Black Vote (OBV) is a non partisan political Campaign organisation. OBV aims to address the Black democratic deficit. Our goal is for a fair, just and inclusive democracy – one that offers rights to all and demands responsibility from all sections of society.

OBV is a non profit Organisation.

Operation Black Vote’s work covers four main areas:

Political education: This aims to raise awareness and understanding of democratic and civic society through citizenship projects.

Political participation: This aims to improve engagement with civic society through local and national voter registration and other civic participation campaigns.

Political representation: This aims to increase political representation of Black and minority ethnic communities, through encouraging engagement; undertaking ground-breaking mentoring schemes; lobbying political parties and civic institutions on the benefits of representative bodies.

Promotion of equality and human rights: increasing the awareness of a progressive equality and human rights agenda.

Increasingly, our news and blog website has become an important media tool to inform, challenge and campaign.

24hr global communication means that we have to be media savvy - using the latest communication tools such as Facebook, Twitter, You tube videos and blogs.

OBV Mobile App is the first of it’s kind, designed to enhance politics and all that we do. OBV understands the importance of staying on the pulse of activity, to that end we regularly engage those we serve and those who should be serving our best interest.

OBV however, never forgets that the most effective campaigning is through personal interactions. That means traveling around the UK, visiting schools and colleges, holding big and small meetings that mobalises individuals and communities to be part of the change process.
