Events

Join us for a powerful evening at the Vote Miami Dinner Fundraiser, where great food meets meaningful conversation. Chef Chrys will be curating a delicious menu that celebrates the flavors of our community, setting the perfect tone for a night dedicated to empowerment and civic engagement.

Our special guest, Dr. Marvin Dunn, a respected local historian, will lead an inspiring discussion on the importance and rich history of the Black vote. His insights will shed light on the pivotal role the Black community has played—and continues to play—in shaping our nation’s democracy.

Come enjoy a night of food, connection, and purpose as we come together to celebrate the power of voting and build a stronger, more inclusive future.

Don’t miss this opportunity to support a great cause while engaging in thought-provoking conversations that will leave you inspired!
