President Joe Biden is telling you all what you need to hear
No executive action can solve this problem
The only way is for Congress to pass federal law
Right now the votes aren’t there to codify Roe
The midterms are essential to vote pro-choice federal and STATE officials
Vote 🗳
It’s literally the ONLY way
Don’t let anyone on this app gaslight you into thinking there’s a magic bullet here
There isn’t
It’s clear a lot of people cannot take being told the truth like adults
Secretary Clinton, President Obama, First Lady Obama, President Biden and Vice President Harris tell you how to stop Republicans and you haven’t stopped punishing them
You have to vote in every election
Another thing is when you are making calculations about whether to vote understand that some of your assumptions may be wrong
Why?
Covid
It changed everything
How?
Migration, illness and death
Don’t assume where you live is still blue, red or purple
Your vote matters 🗳
When you are ready to come to the grown folks table here is what you can do:
1) Learn how to be an ACTIVE citizen
Shaye Moss and Ms Ruby Freeman learned from their elders the value of the vote and volunteered to be poll workers
You can also phone bank, text and register voters
2) Take action, organize and vote
Fight like hell. The Democrats have all the resources you need.
3) Keep the faith and the joy
This is a LIFELONG fight. One that the next generation has to take up and the generation after that. It’s every generation’s fight.
Who are we to be cynical?
“I take the long view and keep doing the work” - Senator Warnock
Dear Republicans,
Black women have always been the most steadfast defenders of democracy and our fundamental freedoms
Not for all you but for us and ours
So in the midterms and every election after that…
Expect us
Cynicism is easy
Hope is hard
Protecting our rights is hard work
Be wary of those exploiting your sadness and anger
Be wary of those pulling you to inaction instead of action
The Republicans don’t rest
Neither can we
Don’t give up your power
Your vote is powerful
