John,
Voting is about more than just casting a ballot.
Voting is how we make our voices heard in this moment right here and now -- but it’s also how we create the world we want to see for future generations. Electoral politics is an important form of protest and is part of our work to change the system.
We’re not just voting for our government officials, we’re voting for
Black liberation, freedom, and success.
This election, there’s more on the line than just our representation. It’s our future on the line -- and we must vote to create the one we deserve.
Join us and #CreateYourFuture by registering to vote, making a plan, and casting your ballot in this historic election. Head over to CreateYourFuture.Vote to get started.
Our futures will be decided based on the action we take right now. Black liberation is in our hands.
We need to elect candidates that look like us, understand us, and advocate for us and the issues facing our communities right now -- from health care disparities to systemic prejudice in our criminal-legal system to environmental racism.
Election Day is so close, which is why we also wanted to flag these crucial voter registration deadlines.
Creating our future is up to us -- and one of the most important ways we do it is with our vote. #CreateYourFuture and get all the resources you need to vote in this election.
We can’t afford to sit back and be silent, not when it’s
our lives and
our futures on the line.
Power to the people -- and power at the polls!
Thank you,
Black Lives Matter Global Network
