It's not just TV or digital ads or personal appearances by the candidates that are going to make the difference . Each and every one of us have a part to play acting as a moral persuader online & w/ friends & family. Know your information and put it out there whenever you can.

That's the point. They won't. But maybe you're the one who's going to spell it out for them. Remember, it's that 11 per cent undecided who will make the difference. Each of us can be a moral persuader. EACH OF US.

Note for online activism this month: If someone says "Give me an example of where's there's voter suppression" or "Give me an example where his behavior is fascist" or "Give me an example where's he's broken the law," research specific examples & actually answer the question!!

Yes, I'll give you examples. The Postal Service getting ride of post office boxes. DeJoy telling people at the post office to slow down processing. Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas shutting down polling places. Efforts such as that all over the country. aclu.org/news/civil-libertie…

Long lines of people voting are good news and bad news. On one hand they show the enthusiasm with which people are rising up in this elex. On the other hand, they signal the possibility of voter suppression since lines like this only exist bc polling places have been limited.

Voter suppression efforts aren’t just about this election; they represent resistance to a multi-racial, multi-ethnic & multicultural majority beginning to emerge. They represent a struggle over America’s identity & who will have power in the 21st-century. pbs.org/newshour/show/native…

It’s astonishing that we have to worry about things like this but we do. Check and double check and double check again.
BE ON ALERT: Republicans in California have set up fake ballot drop boxes that they’re promoting on social media. Whatever your state, before you use a drop box, confirm with your local election office that it’s legitimate ocregister.com/2020/10/11/un…

Excellent!
It’s official—my #NotInvisible Act & #SavannasAct were signed into law! The signing puts us on a path towards greater justice for thousands of Native women and girls who have been missing, trafficked, or taken far too soon.

Chemical companies, Big Ag, fossil fuel companies and big food companies regularly poison our air, food & water - with near complete immunity. Why? Because agencies set up to protect us - FDA, EPA etc. - have become THEIR protectors instead. And never more than under Trump. #VOTE

I’m very happy for you & I celebrate the upside of American society as much as you do, but that mdoesn’t mean millions of people exist for whom that possibility is not reachable. The main “government handouts” go to corporations & the very richest among us.
