We can never let oppressive forces or mean and authoritative leaders define who we are & what we do. Knowing who you are is critical to your sanity.. & your ability to sustain a fight. It is true for individuals, communities and nations.

Without voting rights, immigrant justice, healthcare, living wages, indigenous peoples rights you can’t have a just democracy.
Across the nation if 20-25% of poor, low-wealth voters & their allies vote, they can choose who sits in the house and senate. We must make our power felt! #OurVotesAreDemands

When we say “If we ever needed to vote for democracy & justice we sure do need to vote now.” We are saying voting rights and living wages are on the ballot. We can’t afford to sit home and let others decide what the impact on your daily life will be! #OurVotesAreDemands
