🚨 Some political observers are calling this a “red-line moment” for conservatives. If the Senate majority can’t move the agenda forward…should the leadership itself be replaced?

Black Voters Matter Launches New Ad Campaign; Contract Urges Political Candidates’ Commit to Protect Voters’ Rights

ATLANTA — Black Voters Matter, alongside its civil rights and advocacy partners, urges candidates running for office this midterm season to sign a printed contract to affirm their support for voters’ rights. 

The contract – part of the larger One Million for Voting Rights campaign –  is a key element of a new ad drive that starts this week. It calls on political candidates to take a firm stance on upholding democracy as voters head to the polls. By signing the contract, candidates convey their dedication to the passage of legislative bills and measures including the Freedom to Vote: John Lewis Voting Rights Act, which, among other things, would restore the Justice Department’s authority to police election laws in states with a history of discrimination; the Admission Act that would make the District of Columbia the 51st state of the United States; and filibuster reform that would eliminate further barriers to voting rights, democracy or constitutional measures. 

Despite nearly two years of Capitol Hill protests, White House demonstrations, letters, petitions, and acts of civil disobedience from voters and activists demanding passage of comprehensive voting rights legislation, voters still do not have free and fair access to the ballot box as we continue to see voter suppression tactics on the rise this election season,” said Cliff Albright and LaTosha Brown, co-founders of Black Voters Matter. “This ad campaign is an extension of our #1MStrong for voting rights work and a reminder that voter rights are still in jeopardy. Along with our partners, we are ringing the alarm and urging all candidates running for office this year to be clear about where they stand on voting rights. With our democracy still on the line, voters should know who they are voting for and hold them accountable.”  

Ads will appear in daily newspapers in Pennsylvania and North Carolina as those states prepare to vote this week. The campaign will expand to additional news outlets nationwide in the coming weeks.

Sharing this here because it feels necessary. With rising antisemitism on the right and coming from an alarming number of people in government, beware those who are trafficking in antisemitism of an insidious kind - that which demands Jews conform to a certain viewpoint expected of us by some who believe they’re the arbiters of what we should believe. If we are not Zionists, we’re not “real Jews”. If we’re not religious, we’re not “real Jews”. If we don’t fear antisemitism from the left as much as the right, we’re ignorant somehow. If we listen to Palestinians and take their experiences seriously and don’t see it as some kind of psy-op, we’re being manipulated. I’ve been called “kapo” or “fake Jew” more times than I can count for just defending Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib. @eladnehorai is completely correct - conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism destroys the ability for Jewish orgs to fight antisemitism, because then they turn their focus on human rights advocates - including many Jews - rather than, say, the many right-wingers running for/in office whose Christofascist beliefs are somehow acceptable as long as they say they’re pro-Israel.

Do you live in a so-called Red State? If so, check your voter registration status today at your county or state Election Supervisors office, especially if you have moved, married, graduated college, or experienced another life change since the last election. New laws in many red states have allowed large numbers of voters to be stripped from the rolls for no valid reason. If you have problems, re-register then contact any voter protection organization and tell them what happened. Blue state voters should also check, just to make sure. #votethemout #vote2022 #election2022 #election #midtermelections #flowers #redrose #flowersinurbia #usa https://www.instagram.com/p/Civd6zUOIuL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
