Just two. Any two. Copy, not retweet.
A Black stimulus means funding the basic necessities that have been withheld from Black communities for generations: affordable housing, quality public education, and a clear rejection to any increase to the police budget.
If you believe in:
healthcare as a right,
a living wage,
that working class & marginalized people deserve power,
that climate action should be on the scale of the crisis,
that racial justice is key in all this & more,
Then we are on the same team.
Let’s accomplish it together.
I am excited to announce the launch of #FairFight2020, a comprehensive initiative to staff, fund, and train voter protection teams on-the-ground in battleground states across the country.
Join our fight to protect the vote at https://t.co/kwO6JZ0kHE.
If your take tomorrow doesn’t include the fact that black voters showed up for Democrats *while* being systemically obstructed from access to the polls then you need to rewrite it.
#AlabamaSenateElection Notes:
1. Black People knew there was an election.
2. What’s going on with white women?
3. This election shouldn’t have been this close.
4. McConnell will do whatever he can to delay Doug Jones’ swearing in until the tax vote is done.
If Doug Jones wins, media narrative needs to move from Black Americans’ lack of enthusiasm is losing elections to Black Americans’ turnout is winning elections - despite voter suppression, racism, and candidates that don’t cater to them.

Tonight's nail-biter provides yet another reminder that the African-American community is a core defender of pluralist democratic values in the United States.
