Why Vote?

Civil rights are under attack.

Efforts are underway to roll back hard-fought advances in equality of opportunity.  We cannot afford to let our voices be silenced.

Our schools are in danger.

Urban public schools are under-funded and civil rights enforcement in education is under attack.  We must be a nation that respects educational inclusion.

Everyone deserves healthcare.

Politicians want to repeal and deny access to Obamacare, which will increase the rate of uninsured Blacks.  The healthcare for millions depends on you.

Racially-motivated hate crimes are on the rise.

Use of unjustified violence by police against unarmed people of color goes unchecked.  Your vote is a voice for those whose lives have been taken.

Follow the money.

Black household income is 40% less than that of White Americans.  The poverty rate is more than twice as high. Black workers are paid less than whites at every educational level.
