Dear Friend, A belated but heartfelt Happy 4th of July. 170 years ago today, on July 5, 1852, Frederick Douglass gave a biting oratory at Rochester's Corinthian Hall, commemorating the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Regrettably, his voice still rings true.  Ahead of the Midterm Elections in November - political forces across the country are BLOCKING Black Americans from the ballot box - blocking you from raising your voice! Our important work is in danger if YOU are unable to VOTE for the best representatives of YOUR choice to support underserved Black and Brown communities seeking economic parity, power, and civil rights. Already, 40 states-plus have introduced hundreds of bills to take away all of the expanded options for you and I to vote. From restrictive voter ID laws, purging of the voting rolls, slashing of voting days and hours, states and counties are pulling out every stop to suppress Black and Brown voting rights. Black votes matter! This is why I am asking you to take two easy but crucial actions to fight back RIGHT NOW. GIVE $1 NOW! Yes, just one dollar helps us help YOU reclaim your voice and vote! - $1 to support FAIR education and employment
- $1 to support FAIR healthcare and housing
- $1 to support FAIR justice and equal rights
- $1 to support FAIR Democracy for all!
