Protesting was once our only tool. Black people couldn’t vote.

We can now.

It’s time for long-game thinking. Mobilize the vote. Plan to run for local, state, & federal office yourself.

#riots2020 got you heard, but real change comes from a majority of seats at the power table.
Yes, the @GOP wages a vast voter suppression operation against us.

But if ALL mobilized, and our allies mobilized, and tens of millions of people don’t sit out the election, we could overpower voter suppression & address that problem from the inside too.

Change is long and hard. I’m not talking one election, I’m talking decades here.

But we need to buckle in and prepare to reshape policymaking at every level. Police accountability reforms, stronger civil rights protections, etc.

We can’t do any of that from the outside.
