PRESS STATEMENT - THE PRIVILEGE OF WHITE PRIVILEGE
“No other group in America has been allowed to attack with impunity the nation’s capital, our citadel of freedom and democracy. We witnessed an insurrectionist group of domestic terrorists storm the capitol, break down the doors, walk over the police, bust the windows, roam the floors, ransacking congressional offices at will. They were welcomed and given a free “come as you are” pass by some members of the capitol police. As they came in after taking selfies with certain members of the capitol police, backpacks strapped on their backs, bricks and sticks in hand, one even had a pistol strapped to his side. “
PRESS STATEMENT — DEMOCRACY STILL STANDS
“After failure in the courts, elimination of postal services, unfounded and embarrassing conspiracy theories, and the attempted assassination of certification, it was brought to a halt in the state of Michigan. Let this be very clear to every citizen in these United States. The only security we have to preserve and protect our freedom, and to continue our democracy is our vote and the unrelenting determined voices of the people to defend it.”
PRESS RELEASE — DETROIT BRANCH NAACP APPOINTS HOLLOWELL SPECIAL ELECTIONS COUNSEL
“We are pleased to appoint Attorney Hollowell who will advise the NAACP as Special Elections Counsel to ensure we have the very best legal advice on protecting the 250,000 votes cast by Detroiters in the November 3 Presidential election. Our vote is our power. And there is no lawyer in the country better equipped to assist us in ensuring that our voting power is protected and counted than Attorney Hollowell,” said Reverend Anthony.

PRESS STATEMENT — THE REPUBLICAN ELECTION PANDEMIC OF 2020
“This latest election debacle occurring in Wayne County, in the city of Detroit, is another example of people trying to take away from those who have worked hard, voted right, and counted efficiently. Our eternal thanks for the vast number of workers and volunteers who risked their very lives during this COVID-19 period to count the votes, endure the insults, harassment, and intimidation by Trump operatives seeking to invade their space. “
PRESS STATEMENT - STOP THE MADNESS — IT’S A LANDSLIDE
“This madness lies in President Trump’s refusal to accept the decision of the American people to vote for whom they want as President. This madness is rooted in Republican leaders playing footsie with words and actions, refusing to recognize President-Elect Joe Biden as the choice of the majority of Americans. “
PRESS STATEMENT: COUNT EVERY VOTE AND EVERY VOTE MUST BE COUNTED
“America should be better than this. This was the same tactic used in Florida in 2000, during the Al Gore and George W. Bush recount. It was used once again in Ohio in 2004 during the Bush vs. Kerry election. In 2020, it is now being used in the city of Detroit in the Trump vs. Biden contest. This terror technique will not work. The votes will be counted.”
PRESS RELEASE — WE WILL NOT GIVE UP THE FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO VOTE
“These threats of folk coming into places like Detroit, possibly brandishing armed weapons at polling places, is unacceptable. We call upon the Detroit Police Department, Wayne County Sheriff, Michigan State Police, and the Attorney General to enforce the law, and to arrest and prosecute any individual or organizations that violate the voting rights of any citizen in the city of Detroit. “
