The National Black United Front invites members, supporters, organizers, elders, youth, and freedom fighters from across the country to join us for the 47th Annual National Convention, taking place virtually in July 2026. This year’s convention will bring us together online for collective political education, movement dialogue, strategic discussion, and intergenerational exchange as we continue the work of Black self-determination and liberation.

For more than four decades, NBUF has convened national gatherings that strengthen unity, sharpen analysis, and build capacity for struggle on every front facing Black people. The 2026 virtual convention continues that tradition by creating space for members and supporters across regions to reconnect, learn, organize, and prepare for the work ahead.

This year’s national gathering will include a special family reunion and Zoom party, featured presenters, and virtual webinar sessions focused on the challenges before us and the strategies needed to win. The full convention experience is designed to bring together both longtime members and newer organizers in the spirit of reflection, connection, and action.
