Washington, District of Columbia -- The chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is one of the most critically significant positions to transform the Party. It is of highest priority for the upcoming leader to challenge and change attitudes, behaviors, and influence the law to reflect the best of American democracy both domestically and abroad.
A new day shall soon dawn for the Democratic Party as it chooses its next leaders. They will be engaged in one of the toughest fights for social, economic, and political justice only with a close equivalent to the Civil Rights Movement. A 2022 Democratic Nominee for Congress (AR-02) and educator, Dr. Quintessa Hathaway, has joined the race for Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair to lead the Party in that fight. According to her website, a Seven (7) Point Plan lays out avenues to regain political power over the next five (5) years.
It states:
1. Fifty (50) States, The District Of Columbia, and All United States Territories Strategy
2. Data-Driven, Research-Based, And Targeted Messaging And Marketing
3. The John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act And Freedom to Vote Act Passage
4. Litigation Involvement
5. Democrats Retaking The South
6. A Youth Movement
7. 2030 Census And Reapportionment
Dr. Hathaway quotes Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as expressing in Why We Can't Wait, "When such a people begin to move, they create their own theories, shape their own destinies, and choose the leaders who share their own philosophy. A leader that understands this kind of mandate knows that he must be sensitive to the anger, the impatience, the frustration, the resolution that have been loosed in his people. Any leader who tries to bottle up these emotions is sure to be blown asunder in the ensuing explosion.” She states those words are a guiding light as she seeks to clinch the chairpersonship on February 1, 2025.
