Welcome to the 6th edition of WARTIME. In these pages, brothers just like you strive to make sense of the chaos engulfing our world. We’ve dedicated time to research, design, and present the real talk on this year’s local and national elections, ongoing international conflicts in Palestine and the Congo, and more, alongside some pivotal interviews with key political figures active today.
Like you, we’re trying to keep our heads above water. That’s why we’re also sharing proven tips for maintaining and thriving mentally, physically, and emotionally in this American nightmare.
This edition’s theme is “New Men Must Be Born: Healing During Wartime.” We hope by the time you finish reading, you’ll realize you’re not alone in this struggle. Thousands of brothers, just like you, love you—no matter how “unmanly” we were taught to believe that is—and we need you to join us in rising to meet this moment and protect our people.
If you’re still reading, you’re exactly where you need to be. We’ve poured a lot of work, energy, and love into this publication. Take your time with it; then pass it on to someone who needs it too.

WARTIME is a digital and print publication that is produced quarterly by Black Men Build.
WARTIME is a call to action. Founded in June of 2020 with our first issue, The Black Man’s Survival Guide, we sought to create a political and cultural magazine that speaks to Black life in America. Since WARTIME’s inception, we have created four unique issues documenting Black life from 2020 and beyond. At its core, WARTIME is a tool for political education, organizing, and transformation. With every issue, we collaborate with Black writers, photographers, artists, and members of our own team to create a unique body of work. WARTIME is the political, cultural, and artistic vision of Black Men Build – free and accessible to the public.
