PRESS STATEMENT - HOW TO KILL A DEMOCRACY
. Last November, the American people by a majority of 7 million votes elected a new president. Joseph R. Biden got 81 million votes to Donald J. Trump’s 74 million. It was the highest voter turnout since 1900. Despite this, American democracy has been called into question. Voters have been made to believe fraud was committed, machines were rigged, and illegal ballots were cast. Phony voter audits have been called for in the states of Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and even attempts have been made in Michigan. The U.S. Justice Department warned, “that some jurisdictions conducting them may be using or proposing to use procedures that risk violating the Civil Rights Acts.”
AUGUST 2021 GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING

FIGHTING FOR OUR VOTE
The fight for voting rights and voter protections remains as critical as ever. Following the Capitol Hill insurrection on January 6, 2021, various State Legislatures across the country passed arcane legislation that legitimizes voter suppression by activating impediments to voter registration, implementing cutbacks on early voting and voting by mail, and requiring strict voter identification obstacles.
Join us for the kickoff of our voting rights mobilization campaign. Click here, Fighting For Our Vote, to RSVP.

These concerns go directly to police policy and protocol. Does this reflect the kind of community policing so desperately needed in cities across the country?”
