WE'RE ON THE GROUND IN ALABAMA!
The #WeFightBack tour is rolling and we're not playing games! Black Voters Matter is putting in the WORK ahead of Nov. 5th. We're mobilizing, educating, and empowering our communities to make their voices heard at the polls. Jeezy said it best: "I put on for my city."
That's exactly what we're doing. We're putting on for Alabama, for our people, and for our power! We won't be ignored, we won't be silenced. It's time to show them what we're made of! #BlackVotersMatter
BIG win today with $74B in student debt relief, benefiting over 1M public service workers! Black Americans, who are more likely to serve our communities, will feel this impact. But the fight isn’t over—it’s time to fire MOHELA and stop Project 2025! #CancelStudentDebt#PSLF

"A 2022 poll by the firm Cygnal paid for by Alabama Arise showed that 72% of Alabamians supported Medicaid expansion," Kyle Whitmire says in @aldotcom. "Including 66% of Alabama Republicans." #alpolitics#CoverAlabama https://t.co/V16Ygz87zg
Democracy can’t work without the Black vote. That’s why extremists are working so hard to take it away. The @NAACP continues to litigate in states like GA, TX, PA & more, but this fight needs all of us. We commend @TheJusticeDept for protecting voters.

Chickasaw, #Alabama, a town of fewer than 7,000 people, has once again criminalized its residents for falling behind on bills—a practice they are now turning away from after advocacy by the SPLC and local residents.

From now until the general election, my weekly “Downballot” series will explore lesser-known races on the 2024 ballot
This first 1 might be the greatest story in politics. It has everything:
A Klandaughter, a civil rights hero, white history, Black history & a map
A thread:
Breaking via @JK_Stephenson: A federal judge Tuesday blocked a portion of Alabama's new law criminalizing some forms of absentee ballot assistance, saying it violated the Voting Rights Act for blind, disabled and illiterate voters. https://t.co/AfcgfwEAzn #alpolitics

At Alabama State University, Frazine Taylor spent decades as an archivist, sifting through documents where humans are only identified by numbers, names are misspelled and racially segregated records leave holes in family trees. https://t.co/rCdxXKLg9f
Ugh—AL Secretary of State directed removal from voter rolls any individuals registered to vote who were EVER issued noncitizen identification numbers yet admitted many included naturalized citizens. Referred all 3251 names to AG for criminal investigation & potential prosecution.
President Williams of the Springfield, Ohio NAACP has words for JD Vance and Donald Trump for their lies about Haitians in her community.
She demands a retraction and an apology for their vile rhetoric.
“Have you seen my cart at Walmart?!”
