As we pause to remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I’m reminded of his powerful legacy and the questions he posed to all of us when he said:
“Cowardice asks the question, is it safe? Expediency asks the question, is it politic? Vanity asks the question, is it popular? But conscience asks the question, is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because it is right.”
Never before in our lifetimes have the questions Dr. King posed been more pivotal or more resonant.
Dr. King's dream is not fully realized — and this work is not done. Today, one of the ideals he fought so hard for — equal access to the ballot box — is at risk, friend.
Republican-led states, like South Carolina, are passing a wave of laws suppressing the right to vote — especially making it more difficult for Black voters to cast their ballot and make their voice heard in their government.
We are being set back decades by harsh voter suppression laws, partisan gerrymandering and inflammatory rhetoric.
South Carolina’s Republican leadership clearly wants to be a part of the problem. And while I’ll proudly be a part of the solution as your governor, the truth is we can’t afford to wait.
So to honor Dr. King’s legacy, I’m using my voice to support the advancement of federal voting rights legislation before it’s too late. If you’re with me, add your name to my petition demanding Congress pass voting rights legislation without delay.
Dr. King believed that no act of service was too small.
The time is now. And what we’re fighting for is right and just. Together, we can finish strong and make Dr. King’s Dream a reality for ALL of us.
In solidarity,
