SHOW UP FOR THE SOUTH.

OUR MISSION *

The most powerful voices in politics are online and organized. 

At YALLvote we empower, mentor, and connect Southern content creators to turn the South blue. 

Our collective includes some of the largest southern accounts...and some of the smallest.

We support any creator willing to use their platform to talk about southern state legislative races. We connect them to candidates, help fund their work, and ensure they have the skills they need to grow their audiences.

The future of progressive politics runs through the South. And good politics requires good social media.

Why Now?

The future of progressive politics runs through Southern State Legislatures.

And we're talking about it.

​YALLvote is the Southern Content Creator Collective calling attention to state legislative races that matter.

These are the races that will help hold back the worst of the Republican gerrymanders. These are the candidates who need your support and our voices the most.

SEE WHO WE’RE SUPPORTING

HOW IT STARTED

In April of 2026, the US Supreme Court struck down Louisiana's majority-minority voting district in a landmark decision that decimated what remained of the Voting Rights Act.

The Callais decision opened the door for extreme gerrymandering and Jim Crow-era Black voter suppression.

In less than two hours, Amanda, Anna, and Kate launched YALLvote.

Our mission? To mitigate the terrible impacts of Callais by organizing Southern content creators to drive attention and donors to state legislative races.
