A year ago, I said Mississippi and Louisiana could be competitive with real investment. Turns out, I was right. Now the country is talking about @scott_colom in Mississippi, while @jamieforlouisiana came within 25,000 votes in Louisiana. I made the case directly to DNC Chair Ken Martin in April, after raising the same concerns on @joyannreid. The Deep South doesn’t lack voters. It lacks investment. Maybe it’s time national leadership started listening to Black folks on the ground who know what they’re talking about. Support Civics for the People through the link in my bio. We’re building political power with or without them. Share if you care. 🦾

Politico reports that Black voter turnout is reshaping the midterm elections across the South. Share this if you are Black in the South and want to send a message. Help ensure we don’t get drowned out. We have to ensure that Black political power translate into Black political representation be engaging our people today’s Each of these candidates can win on Tuesday if Black voters show up in big numbers. Georgia: Keisha Lance Bottoms, Governor @keishabottoms South Carolina: Jermaine Johnson, Governor @drjermainejohnson Florida: Angie Nixon, U.S. Senate @angieforfl Mississippi: Scott Colom, U.S. Senate @scott_colom Louisiana: Jamie Davis, U.S. Senate @jamieforlouisiana These races raise a bigger question: Who benefits from the surge in Black voter participation? We cannot trust that other communities will support Black candidates so we have to turnout at a higher number to ensure they win too. Their winning will equal more investment in our communities, which is not happening at the levels it should because we only hold a few of these positions of power. November 3 is Election Day. Know your ballot and make your voice heard. I need you engaging the people in your network. Outvote the racism. Share if you care. 🦾
