Local and state elections will be held across the country in November 2019 and a significant Presidential election looms ahead in November 2020. Underwood, who launched the first Drive Souls To The Polls in 2016, is urging Black media, Black-owned businesses, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, historically under-represented communities and all civil rights and NPHC organizations to join this noble cause to stand up and move forward to change the political narrative to one that advocates for equity, opportunity and fairness for all people, especially people of color. According to Underwood, "I'm passionate about this year-long movement, because we have to make sure that the people elected to serve are serving the interest of the people that elected them. I also want everyone to join me in Washington, DC in August 2020 for the "March For Jobs & Freedom 2020: A Historical Re-Creation Of The 1963 March On Washington." All formats of Black Radio, HBCU campus stations, TV and Internet shows are asked to join the movement by signing up on BlackRadioSolidarity.com. This is not just a radio campaign, it's a civic campaign, and so black-owned businesses are also encouraged to join the effort. Vic Frost, Executive Producer for Sheryl Underwood Radio adds this, "Voting is a right and a responsibility. It is the microphone for your voice to be heard. Everyone who is legally eligible to vote, should vote."
