Without voting rights, immigrant justice, healthcare, living wages, indigenous peoples rights you can’t have a just democracy.
Across the nation if 20-25% of poor, low-wealth voters & their allies vote, they can choose who sits in the house and senate. We must make our power felt! #OurVotesAreDemands
