“The Vote is the most important non-violent tool we have.”

The Honorable Congressman John Lewis

During the first presidential candidates’ debate, we heard more than one provocative dog-whistle for voter intimidation.  We will not sit idly on the sidelines and be deprived of our fundamental rights.  And we will not give comfort to those attempting to spread fear and hatred.

The challenges confronting the Black community in 2020 are well documented: police killings, an inadequate response to the Coronavirus, mass unemployment, and systematic racism. We now face a concerted effort to suppress and disenfranchise the Black community’s inalienable right to vote.

In 2013, the Supreme Court eroded many of the vital protections contained in the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Many states have made it increasingly difficult for minorities to vote.  We face the same challenges our community had to fight against in the 1950s and ’60s. And in the spirit of the late Congressman Lewis, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer, we too must have a plan of action.

Today, we launch Protect Our People to organize and train our community to serve as volunteer poll monitors in their neighborhoods.  We estimate we will need more than 5000 volunteers to protect the polls to ensure that our family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues can exercise their lawful right to vote in a peaceful and safe environment.  And while we call on Black people to stand up and stand firm as we head to the polls, we need everyone to join us.

Rise and stand with us at the polls. We must act today to protect our freedoms of tomorrow.  Our collective presence on the electoral process’s frontlines will send a clear message that the Black community is prepared to stand tall, with allies, and unite toward progress.

In Solidarity,
