I spoke with Michael Vick, a member of the group who said his own experience losing voting rights has made it more important for him to speak out. "As someone who had their voting rights restored, I want to influence younger people to be a part of this." nytimes.com/2020/08/24/us/…
Renee Montgomery of the Atlanta Dream, who is sitting out this WNBA season to focus on activism: "I live in Atlanta, so this issue is right on my front door."

NEW: Fresh details from DNC. Non keynotes are just 2 mins. Who's pre recorded (Michello O/Sanders/more) and who's not. All the $$$ Milwaukee lost, and the barren convention center. From the NYT politics Milwaukee alumni team: me and @reidepstein

Ran into one businessman who said he lost 30k in the Milwaukee's lost coronavirus summer. No summerfest, no Bucks run in new arena, no DNC.

Trump/Pence coming to other portions of the state this week to troll. Dems hope voters will reward their virus caution. But either way, it's not Clinton 2016. That wasn't just abt lack of campaign visits, but investment. That's already different in 2020

"So I stand with our elder Black women who are excited to witness this...I stand with them and I get it," she said, before referencing controversial Harris decisions as AG. "But I stand with our Latinx community...I stand with our trans community."
