Later tonight, I’m writing to Joe Biden about the power of the black vote to elect Presidents & the expectation that this power have leverage when it comes to moving money from city police budgets to programs benefitting those most likely to be murdered by police for no reason...
I don’t mean to take anything for granted as all the votes aren’t counted, but the purpose of having Biden as President rather than Trump is that he can indeed be moved. But WE—whoever that may be—have to move him...
So whatever your race or ethnicity, I hope you’ll join me over the next few years starting tonight, doing whatever you can that might directly confront the President’s power to join the fight for black lives, particularly as it relates to police brutality...
I’ll tweet directly to him later, once we know for sure he’s our President-Elect. And maybe you’ll do the same. Or maybe you’re close enough to have a conversation with him or his advisors...
At any rate, we’re not going another four years with dead Black people in the streets at the hands of cops when Black people have everything in the world to do with putting Democrats in office. I’m expecting there to be SOMETHING different about that reality by 2024.
Please share if you believe that will help. Love y’all. 💙🍑💙
