Hello All:
I was definitely cheering for Donna Edwards to become Maryland's first Black female senator - but it didn't happen. I suggested they use the time and social media to get the people together to do a massive write in vote campaign in the November general election. It's been done before -but it takes unity, creativity, and door to door, face to face campaigning to make it a reality. We have the numbers, but we have to move them from apathy to action.
Not only will it be a turning point in the lives of Baltimorians - who are now having to deal with the aquittal of the officer who brutalized and murdered Freddie Gray, it will stop those who get in office only to disrespect and misrepresent them. I am hoping this will not fall on deaf ears.
In the interim, across the US in California, another woman is poised to make history - and we want to make sure that everyone going into the June 7th Primary, are awake, aware, alive, active, and united behind Kamala Harris.
We might not be able to vote for her, per se; but we can help support her campaign. $3.00 is not a lot of money, but if we put it together collectively, it can make a critical difference in the success of this campaign.
Of course we know that donations alone will not make the difference - getting out the votes, overcoming the apathy, providing transportation, holding rallies, hosting events - in a community as spread out as California, will also be essential.
I am posting this EMILY's List communication - read it, share it, act on it. We cannot allow this to become another repuglycon sweep.
