The purpose of the convention is to stimulate Black participation in politics and elections, including the primary election. As 2012 is a presidential election year, their intention is to jumpstart Black involvement in politics throughout the year. They intend the convention to stimulate Black voter registration, Black campaign involvement, Black candidacies for office, and Black voting. The convention will serve to inform the local Black population about offices, candidacies, ballot measures, and to lead to maximum involvement of Black people in the political process. Representatives of the various presidential campaigns, city council campaigns, school board campaigns, assembly campaigns, senate campaigns, congressional campaigns, and ballot measures will be present.
