Hello, everyone! We're back for round four of BuzzFeed's 2024 Election Diaries!

This bi-weekly series highlights different groups of voters nationwide to find out what political issues are most important to them AND who they plan to support for president in 2024.

So, if you're a Black voter, what political issues are most important to you in 2024?

Maybe your state has passed new voting laws that make it more difficult to vote, so voter suppression is your #1 issue:

Maybe racial violence in your community has risen in the last few years, and you want things to be better for the younger generations.
