"We believe that Black voters must have every option available to them to vote...they need to be able to vote safely..." -@Sifill_LDF
"African Americans are infected & dying at a disproportionate rate. We are literally taking our lives into our hand, in some jurisdictions, if we are compelled to in-person vote without the proper protection.
This year voting is a matter of life & death for us."🚨
-@Sifill_LDF
"If you are outraged by the killing of #AhmaudAubrey, you also know that our vote translates into the laws that govern our lives--the laws that will determine if someone is held accountable for the actions they take against our children."
-Sherrilyn Ifill (@Sifill_LDF)
