Wale Elegbede

Another life lost in Minnesota. We are mourning Alex Pretti. We are angry, and silence is complicity. This should be "everybody’s business". The fierce urgency of now demands action. Every race. Every creed. Every community. Say something. Do something.

Your vote is your demand for a future that moves us all forward. Exercise that sacred right with peace, purpose, and love. — Walé Elegbede, President of the @MnNaacp

Election Day is in four days. Don't wait—make a plan to vote. We are in this together. IWillVote.com

It’s hard to believe, but we’ve only got 4 days left in this election. If you still have a mail ballot, get it to your county election office or ballot drop box today. If you’re voting in-person, go to IWillVote.com to find your polling place. Get it done.

This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant. #Womenwillnotbesilenced #VoteKamala

@KamalaHarris As someone who has lived under despots and dictators, I know that words — especially from those in power — carry with them seeds to unite or destroy, to uplift or oppress. We need to hold leaders accountable for the rhetoric they use. postbulletin.com/opinion/column…

I will always honor—and never denigrate—the service and sacrifice of our troops and their families. And as president, I will fulfill our sacred obligation to care for them.

As someone who has lived under despots and dictators, I know that words — especially from those in power — carry with them seeds to unite or destroy, to uplift or oppress. My TED Talk is still relevant. #PresidentialElection2024 @KamalaHarris @Tim_Walz tinyurl.com/y4npfb6p

#TimWalz understands we need every brain in the game to address systemic challenges. Two years ago @Tim_Walz did not hesitate to support Rochester @MnNaacp efforts to promote local black businesses, as well as an education program to address education disparities. He showed up!
