A Vote for Democracy

The cost of everything that we need to survive and thrive - rent, groceries, gas, etc. - has increased while wages have not. As prices for goods and services rise, we need elected officials who will champion policies that lower expenses and ensure everyone can earn a liveable wage.

The conservative roadmap seeks to undermine our progress, dismantle democracy, and take us back to a time when we did not have a vote or a voice. The way to make sure those policies never harm Black communities is to vote for candidates with a more equitable and inclusive vision.

Whether it's a random shooting in our neighborhood or a racially-motivated mass shooting in another city, crime and gun violence is a concern for every age group and tax bracket. We need solutions that keep us safe and don't criminalize us.

We continue to experience racism and discrimination in our communities, classrooms, and workplaces. We need elected officials who acknowledge the impact white supremacy is having on the Black community and are vocal about replacing unjust systems and institutions.

Rights secured long ago continue to come under attack. Reproductive rights, voting rights and more are at stake. We need to vote to ensure representation that protects these rights and continues to fight for progressive policies.
