OK, the October 7, 2024 deadline has passed.
That’s right. If you even thought about voting in the November 5, 2024 election and you were not registered or had concerns about your address or voter’s registration card; you have missed the deadline.
In the waning hours, I was encouraging folks to get on the good foot and take care of their business.
While I was talking to everyone who would listen across this country and even those abroad, I knew we could wreak havoc in Texas if we had a huge voter turnout.
I did everything legal to encourage voter participation.
And you know in Texas, if you breathe hard and you are Black, you may find yourself being persecuted and prosecuted; so I didn’t offer anything but my intellectual properties! According to state records, there are more than 18 million registered voters in Texas.
Texans, we can do this. We can flip the state and some stomachs. We can start a movement that will benefit this country for the next century.
I know some say, “Right wing or left wing — they come from the same chicken,” but we have an opportunity to make everyone do right if “we, the people,” do right. The League of Women Voters and so many other groups are working to educate voters and get them to the polls.
While it may be too late for you to vote; you still have a dog in this fight, so there’s plenty of work you can do. Contact Win With Black Women, Black Lives Matter and like-minded groups who are working to ensure the process is fair and all voices are heard.
Volunteers are needed. Just think, you might not be able to vote but you can be responsible for ensuring that hundreds who can vote, will.
Be on the right side of history!
