Rayshard Brooks, a Black man, was executed by police for falling asleep in
his car at a Wendy's in Georgia.

While the answers to the systemic racism that has poisoned our nation from
the very beginning go far beyond elections, there can be no doubt that
elections are part of the solution. Elections have consequences.

[ [link removed] ]Help Black Lives Matter have 2 new strong voices in Congress. Donate to
help Charles Booker defeat Mitch McConnell for US Senate and Jamaal Bowman
defeat a 31-year incumbent in NY-16.

Both of these candidates have huge momentum leading up to their primaries
next week.

Jamaal Bowman (NY-16) shares [ [link removed] ]this story of Driving While Black: While
driving to pick up his 3-year-old son, Jamaal was pulled over for
supposedly not using a blinker. He wound up in jail as his son waited. He
reflected, "When you are locked in a cage, you suddenly are no longer
human."

In contrast, the 31-year congressional incumbent he's challenging -- Eliot
Engel -- was caught on a hot mic pushing to speak at a Black Lives Matter
rally, saying, "If I didn’t have a primary, I wouldn’t care."

Jamaal says, "We need leaders who understand what we are going through."
Unlike Engel, he really cares. It's one reason we endorsed his race to
replace three-decade Congressman Engel. AOC and Bernie endorse Jamaal
also. And so does the New York Times.

Charles Booker (KY-Sen) has been on the front lines of the peaceful
protests for Black Lives. He's also our 1-shot to defeat Mitch McConnell.
Like Jamaal, Charles has lifetime of experience with systemic racism,
telling one reporter recently, "I'm concerned about my neighborhood. I've
had cousins murdered the last four years. I've had to ration my insulin.
I've seen people that have been traumatized by their doors being kicked in
and their loved ones being take away."

His opponent in the primary was recruited by DC Democrats. She stumbled
out the gate, saying she would have voted for Brett Kavanaugh for Supreme
Court. She criticizes McConnell for blocking Trump from doing even
more! And she's been absent on Black Lives Matter at a time when Black
voters will be key to victory.

AOC, Bernie, Sunrise Movement, the PCCC, and both major papers in the
state endorsed Charles Booker. The Lexington paper wrote:

generating real excitement among young people and old...

Jamaal and Charles can be powerful voices for Black Lives Matter in
Congress. But they need to get there, and to do that they need our help
winning their primaries next week.
