Hey John,
A lot of us might wonder: “Will my vote actually make a difference in the world?” And we’re here to say YES!
Voting couldn’t be more important, especially in the time we’re living right now. Voter participation is how we disrupt and demand change. Having our voice heard in politics is critical — it will always matter, especially down ballot and in local elections where police budgets, education, and so many other issues get decided.
Voting isn’t just a human right but also a powerful tool to fight against systemic oppression and enact real change. Choosing our next president is critical, but the local elections in our communities have a significant impact on daily life, too. Early voting has already started and we encourage you to go to the polls and do what’s necessary.
Take a look at our voting tool on our website and make sure you’re ready to vote in this election. It’s critical that your voice is heard!
Onwards,
Black Lives Matter
P.S. Tune into our IG live TONIGHT at 7pm EST with Dr. Xavier Buck and Senior Advisor Angela Angel who will discuss the power of the ballot box and what this election means for Black voters You don’t want to miss this!
Our grassroots movement is pushing for Black liberation every single day. We are striving to create a world where Black people do so much more than just survive. It’s time we thrive.
As an organization one of our biggest hurdles is consistency.
A recurring contribution of anything you can afford goes a long way as we plan for the months, years, and even decades ahead. This is the most effective way for small-dollar donors (like you) to power our Black liberation work.
Will you make a recurring contribution of $5 or more today so that we can keep building momentum for our movement?
