We choose to combat hate and racism with love for all, regardless of race, background, or sexual orientation. We believe that a true display of patriotism can be done by standing, supporting, and participating in a fair a free voting process that includes everyone having access to voting by protecting voting rights.
There has never been more of a blatant push to disenfranchise the vote of people of color and women. After the Democrats flipped Arizona and Georgia in the Presidential elections, while also winning two Senate seats by electing Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock, the Republicans have taken bold moves to steal your vote.
Making sure your vote doesn't count, by signing into laws behind closed doors a bill to disenfranchise your vote and making it harder for you to cast your vote.
The United States of America Constitution did not originally define who was eligible to vote, allowing each state to determine who was eligible.
In the early history of the U.S., some states allowed only white male adult property owners to vote, while others. Beginning around 1790, individual states began to reassess property ownership as a qualification for enfranchisement in favor of gender and race, with most states disenfranchising women and non-white men. By 1856, white men were allowed to vote in all states regardless of property ownership. We sometimes take for granted the liberties and shoulders we stand on for that right to vote and be loud.
The other side can't win when we all stick together. To hate someone because of one's skin is not white supremacy...no, that's white fear. Fear of the white people mixing or mingling with other races is crazy.
While they use all their energy to hate us because we accept other races, cultures, and lifestyles, we benefit because we are louder and stronger together.
Don't be silent, use your "VOICE" and tell someone else to be loud too!
Women had limited victories for voting rights before the 19th Amendment. The territorial legislature in Wyoming granted voting rights to women in that area on December 10, 1869. In the early 20th century, additional states passed legislation allowing women to vote. Millions of white women already possessed voting rights when the 19th Amendment was ratified, and millions more gained that right on August 18, 1920. However, the spirit of Jim Crow legislation and a women's rights movement that often discriminated against non-white women prevented all women from gaining voting rights that day.
Black women had to fight for another forty-five years to gain their own right to vote through the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
The struggle and loss of life just for the right to elect others to represent you and your concerns are easily taken for granted.
Now you have the Governor Kemp of Georgia signed into law a bill to make it harder for you to vote. The Georgia Voting Bill shrinks early and absentee voting windows, It limits ballot drop boxes, gives more control to state lawmakers, while making it a misdemeanor to give food and water to voters who've g endorsed long lines to cast their vote. This is the Republican game plan, to disenfranchise your vote.
That is why we need to stand united in our votes and in our voices, to get corporate America involved. If they don't stand with us, they are complicit by their silence. We will not be silent, we choose to be louder.
To organize, participate in making noise, and let's get into some, "Good Trouble: quoting a true American Hero - John Lewis.
Your "VOTE" is the very breath that when we believe, we all achieve.
