November 2020

ELECTION 2020: Souls to the Polls Black lives are not the only thing that matters, the black vote matters too. This November is the most vital Presidential election in recent memory and your vote can make a difference. This election is depending on the number of black people showing up to the polls. NBC News reports “the black vote will never be more important than in 2020.” The acknowledgement of the significance of the black vote is long overdue. It is time to harness the power of voting that was fought for and use it. Vote by Nov. 3rd because your vote matters.
