Who we are
Founded decades ago, the African American DFL Caucus was born from the urgent need to increase political engagement and representation for Black Minnesotans within the DFL and beyond. Since then, we’ve grown into a coalition pushing for systemic change from the inside out.The African American DFL Caucus is a statewide grassroots movement dedicated to building Black political power in Minnesota. We are a coalition of organizers, leaders, and everyday people working to amplify African American voices in the political process — from the Capitol to the neighborhood block. Our mission is to ensure that our communities are not only heard, but centered, in the decisions that shape our lives.
our vision
We envision a Minnesota where African Americans are empowered to influence public policy, elect accountable leadership, and advance bold solutions rooted in equity, justice, and opportunity. Through membership, polling, and strategic organizing, we’re building the infrastructure to ensure our voices drive real change.
what we do
We train and empower community leaders, poll our members on key issues, build relationships with elected officials, endorse candidates, and mobilize voters statewide. We also host events, support local organizing, and advocate for policy solutions that uplift our communities.
