Are you at risk of losing your Black Card? Not watching classic Black movies or not knowing how to play Spades are obvious reasons. But the ultimate offense? Skipping out on voting and claiming it doesn’t matter. Here’s why voting is a non-negotiable Black Card requirement.
Judges
Your vote determines the local officials, especially judges, who can shape your community. In cities like Houston and Austin, committed voters elected 19 Black women as judges, ensuring fair representation. Your vote can make a difference in how the judicial system treats you and your loved ones.
Access to Resources
Voting empowers lawmakers to fight for important issues like healthcare, educational programs, and women’s rights protections. By not voting, you’re giving away resources to those who may not have your community’s best interests at heart.
Checkmate – Keep Anti-Black lawmakers out of office
When you don’t vote, you allow anti-Black officials to pass laws that hinder progress and harm your community. Your vote is a powerful tool to keep those who don’t support you out of office.
Opportunity to Fight
Voting provides an opportunity to advocate for the issues that matter most to you and your community. Even if the choices aren’t perfect, voting gives you a platform to fight for change.
Voting your Interests
Your vote is your endorsement of the issues that are important to you and your community. By voting, you’re ensuring that resources and opportunities are allocated to those who need them most.
Let Your Voice Be Heard
Voting is a way to make your voice heard and advocate for the changes you want to see. Your vote impacts decision-makers and helps shape the agenda for your city, county, state, and nation.
By Any Means Necessary
If you’re serious about making a difference, voting is essential. Not voting could mean losing a crucial tool for securing your rights and shaping the future. Use your vote now to protect your ability to vote in the future.
