The Electoral Justice Project or the EJP lead their “Wakanda the Vote” campaign during the opening weekend of the Black Panther. EJP advocates the advancement for the rights of the Black community through electoral strategy. With the 2018 Midterm vote around the corner, they have been encouraging black voters to go out and make a change with their vote.

They have sent out their call to action through Twitter for other individuals and organizations to start their own voter registration events.
