[ [link removed] ]Ayanna Pressley for Congress

I was
recently asked what I would say to young women of color who may be
considering sitting this election out.

To that I said: You matter. Your voice matters. And you are powerful.

When I was a little girl, my mother took me to vote in every election.
We’d pull that lever and stand a little taller and she’d whisper, “never
forget that you are powerful.”

By making a statement at the ballot box, you are honoring the role that
women — Black women — have played throughout history.

To me, voting is an act of self-care. It is an act of mitigating harm.
It’s a love letter to future generations as well. Our vote is about us,
but it’s not only about us.

Every great movement throughout history and so many transformative pieces
of legislation have only come to pass because of the sweat equity, because
of the intellectual capital, because of the imagination of young people —
and Black youth in particular. Whether it was student debt cancellation or
the fight for climate justice, young Black people have been at the
forefront of these movements.

No candidate is perfect. Perfection is not on the ballot this year, but
progress is.

Kamala Harris will be a partner for progress. Her vision for our country
will center the dignity and humanity of everyone who has been left behind
and left out. Who has been made to believe that they don’t matter.

But, you see, that’s exactly what they want us to believe. If our vote
didn’t matter, they wouldn’t be trying so hard to take away our right to
vote.

voters as possible with the message above, encourage them to make their
voices heard, and vote for progress. Will you pitch in
$25 or

contact work possible?
