How should Black people address voter suppression?
Robin Rachelle Advocate for voter etiquette. Start within your own family and inner circle by making certain they’re all registered. Assist and make sure that they have proper documentation and knowledge of local election issues and candidates. Then commit to educating teens about to turn 18 who need to get registered. Assist our elders with transportation and personally commit to taking them to the polls or early voting. I commit myself to getting ten individuals to vote who initially had no intention to vote. I also use my social media to encourage people to go vote! Claytee White Vote and take all your friends with you. Louis Overstreet Learn the new rules of the road. Patricia Snowden Do not procrastinate. Go vote. Cheria Goodloe Until we educate ourselves about nationality, voting is just proof of our slavery. Kelvin Gordon We have to vote Mitch McConnell and his racist cronies out of office. Lester Lewis We have to get more involved in local politics and the overall legislative process. Deidra Green We need to help those who lack the documents needed for voter registration.
