I recall a story in the Bible where Jesus enters the Garden of Gethsemane and asks Peter James and John to keep watch during the midnight hour while he wrestles in the spirit on the mountaintop.

The same is true for many of us on today.
As we fight against the despair of darkness and the pain of persecution, know that you have been called to such a time as this. Keep watch, stay alert.
Truth be told, there will be some folks who fall asleep as they wait for the next move. People who are not able to keep watch because they are “drunk with the wines of the world.”

Don’t be distracted, though. Keep praying. Keep fighting. Keep wrestling.
On the other side of that struggle is victory. It’s healing. Its justice. It’s freedom. These are divine rights - and we receive them.

“Not mine but thy will be done.”

Amen.

I continue to see people ask how the new Georgia law, hereafter referred to as SB202, is a “voter suppression bill.” Here’s how.. #GaPol

A THREAD 🧵🪡
Shortens the amount of time that an eligible voter can request an absentee ballot. It also pushes up the deadline for when a voter must return their absentee ballot as well.
It adds ADDITIONAL photo identification requirements for voting by mail. If you don’t have a Drivers License, you have to send a photocopy of your ID.

This adds additional barriers for rural voters, non-convicted inmates, and poor and disabled voters.

@Georgia_NAACP⁩ will use every legal option available to protect the right of all Georgians to vote. Despite this set back, we are motivated now more than ever.

We are not defeated - we’re just getting started. naacpga.org/post/georgia-n…
This is not only an unfunded mandate on local counties but an egregious power grab by Republicans trying to maintain political power. Let the record reflect that rather than trust democracy, they corrupted it to appease conspiracy theorists.

Luckily, this isn’t over. #GaPol
Democracy is under attack by partisan agendas and we can do something about it right now. We need everyone to call their Congress member and their U.S. Senators and urge them to pass #HR1 and #HR4 today.
