Today we are going back in time to 1955 when freedom fighters and revolutionaries put everything -- their jobs, safety, and dignity -- on the line to demand equality and justice in Montgomery, Alabama.
Today is the 64th anniversary of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, team. Coordinated by the NAACP, the MBB was a social protest against the policy of racial segregation on Montgomery's public transit system.
No matter how history books might make it seem, change doesn't happen overnight. This protest lasted nearly a year, and led to a Supreme Court case that ruled segregation unconstitutional.
Like those brave men and women who demanded more from a racist society in Montgomery, Alabama, we know in our hearts that what might seem impossible to some is only the next opportunity calling.
The promise of our democracy is that our government would be for the people and of the people. Through equal representation, we can heal our democracy to make sure it works for all of us.
So please, if you're ready to keep fighting, rush support to our 2020 fund today to help elect the next Black wave.
Thank you,
The Collective Team
