Thrilled to be a part of the new #VisionIntoPowerCohort with Kerry Washington. We are excited about this work alongside incredible organizations advancing democracy and opening voting access for folks who’ve been systemically excluded. Every election the stakes are high, but this time feels different. Repost from Kerry Washington: "Each of these superheroes in this video is a member of the #VisionIntoPowerCohort - organizations who are working in communities around the country to make sure that more people understand and use their power. In my last video, I affirmed that every single one of us matters! I read the comments…some of you believed me, some of you still do not. But you don’t have to believe ME, believe THEM. They know that you matter. They believe in you! And they are fighting for your freedoms every single day! So on a day when people like to talk about freedom - let’s celebrate some of these real life heroes of democracy! PLEASE give them a FOLLOW, and try to UPLIFT their content on social, and if you can DONATE!!! They are the ones, in addition to each of you 😍, who will continue to push to make sure we have a democracy that works for everyone."
