Hello VOTERS!
As we all know, TOMORROW IS PRIMARY DAY!!! I know that we are all anxious to get out and vote, and that we know the power of one vote, as many, many elections have come down to literally a few votes. Please impress on all of your comrades, family, friends and acquaintances that THEIR VOTE COUNTS.
EVERYONE’S VOTE COUNTS.
In addition, we have many more viable choices to vote for in this age of continuing enlightenment. As we continue to #UniteTheStruggles and fight for #PeaceThroughJusticeAtHomeAndAbroad, we are delighted that there are people who are openly and boldly leading us into (at last!) the age of equity, and are fighting towards equitable alternatives to corruption, apathy, and hypocrasy, in housing, education, healthcare, Mother Earth, work environments, the justice system.
Let’s all be #INFORMEDVOTERS.
We must #UnitetheStruggles. The time is now, and we are, most certainly, the people we’ve been waiting for.
Thank you to everyone who came out to the Rise for Climate, Jobs and Justice on Saturday! Much solidarity and continued work towards climate justice.
Also, thank you to all who came out to the Jefferson Arts Festival. An awesome time had by all, saluting the cultural legacy of Jefferson Avenue and the surrounding community.
