During the 2020 Election, millions risked their health + gave their time to ensure that all who wanted to vote, could. In the darkness of this difficult year, thank you to the bringers of light. You are examples of the very best of who we are and who we can be. #JoyToThePeople!

⚠️EVICTION = DEATH⚠️
Helen Matthews of @CityLife_Clvu, a housing nonprofit in Boston, told CNBC on Friday that "this is a time where it's not an overstatement to say that for many people, #eviction can lead to death" 😡😡😡

We need Congress to #CancelRent, cancel all accrued housing debt, halt future evictions and expunge evictions that have already occurred. For the long term, we need a #HomesGuarantee.
Make your voice heard. Tell Congress #ReliefCantWait.

Based on my convos with Rs over wknd, most everything McConnell does from here on isn't about January 20th (inauguration day & working with Biden) but January 5th (the Georgia run-off elections). To win the latter, Rs believe the base must be stoked, esp in a fast-changing state.
The people have decided and won! ✨🙌🏾✨ We fought, organized & voted to protect ourselves from the tyranny of a fascist regime. Black, Indigenous & People of Color-led organizations came together to show our power. #ElectionResults2020#Elections2020
All that #Philly asked was that their votes be counted, and today we have a result and a new president. The reality is that the press and politicians do not have the power to call the vote — that power rests with the will of the people. #CountEveryVote#EveryVoteCounts
Bryan Mercer, @mvmalliance in Philadelphia: As Philly's ballots are counted there's dance party in streets with abundant food donations. The sentiment is clear: Our MOVEMENTS did this. And we know Black & Brown folks led that movement. #ElectionResults2020
