#BlackVotersMatter with a #KYGOV digital #GOTV ad featuring @CedEntertainer:
Black organizers at the @OHorganizing and across Ohio made this happen. We knocked doors. We passed out voter guides. We made our rights our priority! Didn’t want on politicians to do it. Organizing got this done!
I've seen enough: in a victory for the pro-choice side, Ohio Issue 1, a measure to establish a right to an abortion in the state constitution, passes.
Spoke today with a man who told me he didn’t care about voting. He told me his kids were traumatized by repeatedly seeing gun violence in their neighborhood and none of the politicians were ever gonna give a shit about that. When are we going to focus on actual Kentuckians?
Our Western Kentucky tour wrapped up in Louisville, where we partnered with the University of Louisville's NAACP to engage students, canvassed Shawnee, and @kyblack2020 held their "Pass the Mic" townhall. Next stop: Virginia! View our full schedule: bit.ly/bvmtourstops

"I understand there has been a lot of economic growth across the state, but is that actually translating into people being able to access these jobs and not face barriers to these jobs." - Celine Mutuyemariya, Organizing Director of @kyblack2020 whas11.com/article/news/p…
It's the last day of our incredible Kentucky tour! We've had engaging discussions, visited communities, and shared the importance of the upcoming election. Don't forget to cast your vote on Nov 7, 2023!
Black Leadership Action Coalition of Kentucky (@kyblack2020) is a force for change in the Commonwealth! They're a united front of abolitionists and anti-capitalists, working to shift power dynamics in Kentucky. We're proud to partner with them ahead of the Nov. 7 election.
Yesterday, we continued our Western Kentucky journey! We kicked things off at Murray State University with the BSC, connecting with students. Then, we headed to Hopkinsville, KY for our townhall to have a discussion on freedom and community progress. #BlackVotersMatter ✊🏾
Today in Frankfort, KY, we brought love, Black joy, and free food to Kentucky State University, letting students know they matter beyond election season. Tomorrow, we conclude our Western KY tour in Louisville!

The day ended in Paducah, KY, with a lively block party! We engaged, gave away swag, shared food and more. Let's ensure our voices are heard with Absentee Voting from Nov 2-4 for the November 7th election!
Yesterday in Mayfield, KY, we united at @kyblack2020's Pass the Mic: Townhall, where the community shared visions, learned about candidates, and discussed boosting voter turnout. To empower our love-rooted community, we meet voters where they are.

Well, the Atlanta City Council passed $67 million in funding for Cop City, by an 11-4 margin, after over 15 hours of essentially unanimous public comment against it. Quick thoughts before I go to bed.
This was a historic 24 hours. Absolutely shattered every record of public turnout. Made clear, unequivocally, that Atlanta residents are against Cop City. Over a thousand people turned out, repping many more. Incredibly diverse crew. Everyday Atlantans. Firmly against Cop City.
