Beyond The Vote

Producers: Woke Vote’s Alexus Cumbie and Stay DRMN’s Marshall Pollard, Philippe Celestin
In a moment when “woke” has been weaponized as an insult, when truth is twisted, courage is questioned, and care is called controversial — we offer you a story about what happens when a community refuses to stay asleep. Debuting soon, Beyond the Vote follows the journey of Woke Vote — from its founding roots in the Deep South to its transformative work across North Carolina — where faith, culture, and connection ignite something far greater than politics.
Through the voices of organizers, pastors, students, and families, the film captures what it takes to build power from the ground up — one conversation, one classroom, one county at a time. From the Freedom Schools shaping a new generation of civic leaders, to the HBCU Tour mobilizing students to the polls, to the ongoing work leading into 2024’s Community Accountability Day, Beyond the Vote chronicles a movement that refuses to rest.This is not a film about an election. It’s a film about what freedom could look like. Beyond the Vote. A documentary about people who refuse to sleep on their power.
We build where we belong.
Woke Vote empowers individuals to fight back against policies that are antithetical to our shared values. By meeting people where they are and teaching the fundamentals of congregation and community organizing, we are altering the political landscape as we know it. We know that these hidden faces and voices — our faces and voices —have the power to reshape our democracy, influence and lead movements, and invoke lasting change. Join our movement today.
How We Build Power
Since the commencement of Woke Vote, we have offered a non-partisan, non-candidate-based training and leadership development fellowship program to build a pipeline of talented organizers who can execute engagement programs to scale.

These training sessions will cover the methodology and ideology that undergirds Woke Vote, organizing strategies, power-mapping along with presenting a chance for attendees to connect with other activists, community leaders and political operatives across the state.
