Network for Hillary! Black Lives Matter Civil Rights Activist DeRay Mckesson: Why I’m voting for Hillary Clinton"


* With 11 days left until Election Day *

Tuesday, November 8, 2016 it is time to make sure a “plan to vote” for Hillary is in place! If you've got one in place, it's time to double-check it!

1st

Please go to I Will Vote, provided by the Democratic National Committee where you can easily get all of the information you will need to vote.

2nd

If you are doing in-person voting ~ as opposed to absentee ballot, by mail, online ~ make a date with a friend to go vote. If you run into long lines you will be able to hold each others places if you need to step away from your spots in the line for any reason.

3rd

Pack a bag with water and a snack. (In recent years, some voters have found themselves stuck in long lines for hours!) If you need it and if possible, bring an easy-to-carry chair, too!

Wishing you a lovely experience casting your 2016 ballot for Hillary (& other Democrats on your ballot who will be in a position to assist her in executing our Democratic Platform!)

TY!!!

“Black Lives Matter Civil Rights Activist DeRay Mckesson: 

Why I’m voting for Hillary

I’ve been thinking lately about Shirley Chisholm’s legacy and her words: “Freedom is an endless horizon, and there are many roads that lead to it.” As Chisholm understood, we engage in imperfect systems sometimes, to make them more perfect. And our engagement in democracy comes in many forms — we engage in democracy in protests, in board meetings, in classrooms and, importantly, at the ballot.

I am not naive enough to believe that voting is the only way to bring about transformational change, just as I know that protest alone is not the sole solution to the challenges we face.
I voted my entire life, and I was still tear-gassed in the streets of St. Louis and Baltimore. I voted my entire life, and those votes did not convict the killers of Sandra Bland, Freddie Gray or Michael Brown.

But elections do have consequences.

The next president will continue to shape the trajectory of justice and landscape of opportunity in this country. She will be responsible for how trillions of dollars in federal funding are spent, decide how to ensure both liberty and security in an increasingly interconnected world and determine the path forward on health care and Social Security.

I am voting for Hillary Clinton.

Make no mistake, I do not agree with Clinton on everything. For that matter, there are few people in the world with whom I agree on everything.

Her platform should call for an end to the death penalty. It should end the federal government’s “Equitable Sharing Program,” which helps police take cash and property from people who are never convicted of wrongdoing. And when I met with her last week, I asked her to address not only how the federal government should treat nonviolent drug offenders but also the many others whose lives have been impacted by the system of mass incarceration.

… But I agree with Clinton more than I disagree with her. … “
