It is time to vote our interests. It is time to organize and mobilize. It is time to push forward with determination, faith and courage in the face of injustice, inequality and oppression. #WhenWeAllVote #Vote2018 @NAACP @NNPA_BlackPress @BlackPressUSA

The origin of every authentic movement begins in the streets. I’ve always supported & uplifted the #HipHop Community. Artists like @ciara speaking on #VotingRights here in 2008 @ #HipHopSummitActionNetwork are often the holders of the key to where we need to go & how. @NAACP

This is why I will never stop fighting for criminal justice reform. Having spent most of the 70s as a political prisoner unjustly incarcerated, my young daughter Michele and son Benjamin III had to endure the trauma of separation and the uncertainty of their future. @NAACP

Fear, panic, emotional shock and hopelessness all are generated by misperceptions of the unknown. Yet today in America, COVID-19 has shed light on the deadly realities of what is known: racism, health disparities, and unmitigated evil. @BlackPressUSA
