Duchess Harris: US people were tired before COVID and before this election year. What is our strategy?
Albright: People respond to different issues and messaging. Center on issues but change that messaging to suit the group.
Sewell: And different messengers! #asalh2020
Albright: We don't have to reach everyone but if everyone we reach will reach others, then we will have done our job.

Sewell: The strategy is to vote.
VOTE: Volunteer. Organize. Turn out. Elect.
If you aren't at the table, do as Shirley Chisholm says, bring a folding chair and scoot yourself in there. #asalh2020
Sewell: Make no mistake that in this moment, old battles have become new again. Forms of poll taxes, etc. Civil Rights fighters were strategists and tacticians, we need to follow that lead. #asalh2020
Sewell: We must know our history, we have to live our history, and then be history-makers. How many know about Rev. Frederick Reese? He wrote the letter that invited SNCC to Selma. #asalh2020
