    Today is the . And as people cast their votes for the first primary where Black voters make up the majority of the electorate, nearly 100,000 Black voters risk being purged from the voter rolls.

    Make no mistake, Democratic primaries aren’t immune to the forces of voter suppression. One of the most important conversations around this primary should be around voting rights and voter suppression.

    Not only that, but South Carolina also requires voters to have photo ID. I don’t know who needs to hear this, but that isn’t always accessible to poor people, Black and brown people and young people.

    This campaign, we've seen candidates call out structural racism and say ‘white supremacy’ on the debate stage. On the day of the , thinking about the wins we've made in translating movement building to electoral power.

    Not having $100 in your bank account should not be a death sentence. The cash bail practice preys on communities of color, low income communities, and those experiencing mental illness in this country. We must now.

    We must do more to protect the young Black men who fall between the cracks, using unsafe equipment, and dying on football fields far away from trauma centers where no help can be found.

    The is about saying, “I exist.” And that is powerful. Powerful enough to decide whether our communities are represented and resourced. Make no mistake, efforts to suppress our participation in the census are efforts to marginalize us.

    Black Starbucks baristas are paid less than their white counterparts. LGBTQ+ employees are constantly subjected to harassment. And 1 in 4 immigrants are told to stop speaking their preferred language at work.

    The policies and practices that have attacked and gutted government infrastructure instead of holding it accountable and in the process privatized our basic needs with profit for the very rich being the driving force has made us all unsafe.

    Pence has already caused an HIV outbreak by ignoring marginalized communities. He won’t help Black communities when the virus comes and won’t listen when we tell him what will stop it. Pence will create a disease disaster because diseases go to every community, but he won’t.

    Inequality is manufactured so corporations can profit by pricing life-saving medicine out of reach, and so Trump, Pence and their enablers can choose their luxury over people’s lives. Already, their inadequate response will be countered by heating aid cuts

    It’s simple math: destroying government destroys people. The coronavirus death toll will be no accident: it will go up for every dollar hollowed out from community health, science and medical infrastructure to give tax cuts to the very wealthy.

    Black voters can care about getting our children to college debt-free and ending police brutality at the same time. Want to hear Black communities being addressed in every issue that affects us, not just on “Black issues,” and not just during debates.

    Tonight's is a test of how well candidates connect with Black voters. They're not going to do that by centering Black voters only in discussions of police brutality & mass incarceration, or by treating Black voters as a monolith.
