Deciding the future of democracy for this nation is a very important role for young people 18 years and older to not only Register to Vote but more importantly Vote. Young people can have a more inclusive future American democracy with the power to vote on Election Day November 5, 2024. This is not the time to be complacent if they are going to live their future in a more inclusive American democracy providing equal access to resources and opportunities for all Americans.
The challenge for the younger generation’s future is not tomorrow! but today. The African American vote is not only critical to the outcome of the presidential election but also elections in every state for representation in the United States Congress to City Hall, is why it is even more important to Register and Vote.
I cannot emphasize enough that every vote counts, especially in key swing states. And understand the significance that every vote counts, that’s why the young vote can shift the political landscape making history for the younger generation’s future that is so important.
This is not the time for African Americans, young and old, to complain about what elected officials are not doing. But the power of the vote is your voice that can make elected officials accountable during these critical times as America moves forward.
Don’t wait to Register to Vote, Register TODAY. VOTE!
