Reggie Weaver is currently the Deputy Director for Development for Hip Hop Caucus and previously served as their Respect My Vote! Campaigns Director.

Reggie worked for many years as an organizer and voting rights advocate with Common Cause in North Carolina, equipping students to mobilize their peers to vote and engage with elected officials and educating voters about racial and partisan gerrymandering and how to advocate for legislative solutions.

Reggie views this work as a calling, deeply rooted in his faith and ancestral lineage. He first began organizing as a pastor on the southside of Chicago. There he organized in community around a range of issues including food insecurity, gun violence, the closure of public health facilities, and the fight for a living wage.
