Black men across GA continue to express that @staceyabrams isn’t doing enough to address our needs. Instead of trying to convince us that she is the best choice, you should be trying to convince her and her campaign that she isn’t doing enough to capture our vote. (1/3)
What’s become evident is many so called “Black leaders” merely want to silence dissent and herd us into voting, without expecting policy to address our needs. They don’t advocate for the people; they advocate for politicians. (2/3)
I won’t vote for @GovKemp because he hasn’t put forth policies that specifically address the needs of Black folks. I won’t vote for @staceyabrams if she doesn’t put forth policies to specifically address the needs of Black folks. See how that works. #downballot. (3/3)

#ADOSActivists in MS have always been a political advocacy organization. We fight for policies on behalf of non profit organizations so that they do not have to depend on charity. Our government works for us. We must demand transformative legislation to build our communities.
The @MississippiRise has been critical in getting vital resources to our communities. One of their board members is my good friend LaRonne Lewis. He is also a member of our @MississippiAdos Organizers circle.
We are both two passionate people. Our organization uses political advocacy for policy initiatives that are specific to #ADOS✊🏾. We were discussing the current exclusion of Black Farmers from the USDA Food Box distribution program.

I took a drive today through Loganville, GA and Monroe, GA. All I saw was Trump/Pence signs. It’s really hard for folks to understand that Metro ATL is not the same as the majority of GA.
People underestimate how overt racism is a show of power to a large percentage of White voters. It’s also important to remember that last election, almost all of the poles had Clinton winning. That’s because all of those polls act as if racism isn’t a factor
White America will always choose dominance over equality. Trump is the heartbeat of White America. He represents the “good ole” days. Dems are betting on “liberal” White and white Latino voters to help them win without addressing the insidious nature of Anti-Black racism.
