  9. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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
