WE'RE ON THE GROUND IN ALABAMA! The #WeFightBack tour is rolling and we're not playing games! Black Voters Matter is putting in the WORK ahead of Nov. 5th.

We're putting on for Alabama, for our people, and for our power! We won't be ignored, we won't be silenced. It's time to show them what we're made of! #BlackVotersMatter

He’s probably incredibly busy, what with all the “concepts of plans” he’s looking to finalize….

Democracy can’t work without the Black vote. That’s why extremists are working so hard to take it away. The @NAACP continues to litigate in states like GA, TX, PA & more, but this fight needs all of us. We commend @TheJusticeDept for protecting voters. n.pr/3Y2Iuj4

Ugh—AL Secretary of State directed removal from voter rolls any individuals registered to vote who were EVER issued noncitizen identification numbers yet admitted many included naturalized citizens. Referred all 3251 names to AG for criminal investigation & potential prosecution.
