THIS JUST IN:
EMPOWERMENT ZONE hosts REGINALD McGLAWN and LISA ROBINSON will be interviewing members of MOBILE VOTERS PA -
MIDTERM VOTES MATTER ALLIANCE 2022 this Thursday, August 11, at 3:00PM
on WWDB AM Radio - 860 on your radio dial; or www.wwdbam.com. Tune in
as we discuss the issues confronting us as voters, locally and
nationally.
The
dire need to mobilize Pennsylvania voters to show up and show out
during the upcoming crucial 2022 MIDTERM ELECTION cannot be
understated. Of course in the realm of political intrigue we can't tell
you specifically who to vote for on the show; but we can provide some
insight and information on how to not have your rights usurped, and how
to not allow the meanstream media to deceive you at such a crucial time
as this.
Our
votes are more important than ever before. If they weren't they
wouldn't be trying so hard to prevent us from doing so. Many people
think the
presidential election is the most important election, and turn out by
the millions to do their duty. However, the most significant vote is
during the MID TERM ELECTIONS - which is when we decide who is in the
majority - and ensure the President has a majority in order to complete
his mission.
The following guests will be on the show:
1) Gloria DULAN-Wilson - Founder/CEO MOBILE VOTERS PA 2022
2) Barbara Arnwine, Pres./CEO/ Founder of Transformative Justice Coalition, National Chair
3) Vanessa Lowery Brown - Former State Rep, and Voting Rights Activist
4) Tamara Staley - Chair Philadelphia Juneteenth Family
5)
Rev. Buie - Activist Minister and member of BLACK WOMEN & GOOD
BROTHERS FOR POSITIVE CHANGE headquartered in Washington, DC
MOBILE VOTERS PA was formed in August of 2020 during the Pandemic.
It became necessary to shut down the major voting places most
Philadelphians were accustomed to going to. Additionally all the
polling places that were housed in the senior living facilities were
shut down.
People
began relying on voting by mail as an alternative, because there was so
much confusion as to where the polling places were going to be
located. When the predator in chief announced that voting by mail would
hurt the repuglycon party, and hired Dejoy to dismantle the US postal
service, which has been part of the US since the 1700s, we knew we had
to do something to make sure folks were able to get to the polls.
On
August 16, 2020, the first meeting of MOBILE VOTERS PA was held via
Zoom - we launched a concept to have non-emergency vehicles pick up
seniors and other residents who didn't know where their polling places
were - transport them to and from the polling places - using, of course,
all the precautionary anti-covid measures.
We
got volunteers, held a go-fund-me to rent buses and pay drivers -and as
a result were instrumental in quadrupling the voter turn out.
Fast
forward to 2022 - we are in CRISIS MODE as our rights are under siege:
The right to vote, and predatory candidates have tried to fool voters
into thinking they will not prevail. Our goal is to keep PENNSYLVANIA
BLUE- expand the turn out exponentially - educate voters about how
essential their MIDTERM VOTES ARE; MOTIVATE THOSE WHO ARE SITTING ON THE
SIDELINES, AND INFORM THOSE WHO HAVE HAD INCARCERATION ISSUES THAT THEY
ARE ELIGIBLE TO VOTE IN PENNSYLVANIA - AND GET THEM REGISTERED -
WE HAVE 89 DAYS and counting to become a critical mass of registered and active midterm voters!!
On
May 9. 2022, Barbara Arnwine met with several activist and civil rights
organizations here in Philadelphia, and asked that we align with them
to turn the tables in terms of voter turn out, locally and nationally!!
We have been working towards that in - despite some hiccups that intervened.
We
are now moving forward and are inviting Philadelphians, Pennsylvanians,
Americans of good consciousness and good intentions to come together
and make this MIDTERM VOTE 2022 A SOUND VICTORY that sends a clear
message to all who would try to deprive us of our voting rights, women's
rights, marriage rights, health rights, civil rights, educational
rights, and human rights - they will not prevail.
This
is a crisis and we have to be serious about it - no one can sit on the
fence; 18 years to 108 years you have the most powerful tool in your
hands - the right to vote is also a RESPONSIBILITY!
BTW:
THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN RECEIVING SOLICITATIONS FOR FUNDS TO HELP THE
CANDIDATES - PLEASE CONTRIBUTE - EVEN IF IT'S ONLY $3.00 - THAT'S HOW
PRESIDENT OBAMA WON- BY PEOPLE POOLING THE LITTLE THEY HAD INTO
SOMETHING EVEN GREATER.
