Hello All:
Pennsylvania! If you haven't done so already, make sure you sign up for and watch the webinars sponsored by the Board of Election on how to VOTE BY MAIL. This is the first time this right is offered in the State of Pennsylvania. This is live action and opportunities to have questions answered are made available via call in or on Zoom. I attended the meeting online on Tuesday, and found there were so many things than they have innovated that will make voting much simpler and widespread.
The Pennsylvania Primary is coming up on June 2, 2020. The next webinars are May 12 and 19, 2020. You can sign up for them on the links below.
It is the responsibility of every one to vote in any and all elections, regardless of what your party/political affiliation is. But more especially, if you're African American - because the right to vote has been denied and under attack. It is the power of our vote that we must wield to make sure that we have parity in our future. And it is that power they are trying to deny us by trying to shut down the postal service, purge us from the voting rolls, and a myriad of other nefarious methods. The opposition is counting on our being lackadaisical, cynical, lazy, ignorant - we must not fall into that trap. If ever there was a time to turn a state from Red to Blue - it's now! If ever there was a time that we have to step up and be counted - it's now! We must not allow the lack of a postage stamp, COVID19, transportation issues, or anything else to deter us from voting - and making sure that we take back control of this country. This is a pivotal year - Pennsylvania Governor, Tom Wolf, is doing everything he can to facilitate our having all the information we need, materials we need and assistance we need to vote.
It is our responsibility to step up and make it happen.
While this is in reference to Pennsylvania voting by mail, this message goes out to all Black people here in the US, regardless of what state you reside in, or whether or not you are voting by mail, online, early voting, absentee ballots or physically going into the polls and using the voting machines:
YOU HAVE TO VOTE AS THOUGH YOUR LIVES DEPEND ON IT - BECAUSE IT DOES!!
