Thread on how if Dems want to continue to rely on Black & brown women voters, they MUST address the Care Crisis. We saw how the economy was the #1 issue for the majority of WOC, and this is the bulk of what they meant. #CareCantWait 👇🏽

When we are talking about the Care Crisis, we are talking about a crisis that disproportionately hurts Black & brown women—the backbone of the Dem party. They have to choose work or child care; child care or care for their parents/elders; pay bills or buy food. This is not ok.

For those watching 60 Minutes, remember that Brad Raffensberger was one of the first Secretaries of States to launch a “voter fraud” task force, which was a national pilot for Trump’s entire disinformation campaign. #gapol

New group formed to fight Georgia voter intimidation

A group formed Thursday will protect voters from intimidation after Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger created a voter fraud task force.

. @RosenforNevada sat down with Barbara for a family meeting to talk about the struggles & sacrifices of a single mom caring for a daughter w/ diabetes. For their family & everyone in NV who will vote in this Senate race & presidential state #CareCantWait

Home caregiving can be expensive, thankless work. Nevada Sen. Jacky Rosen is trying to change that.

Rosen is among a group of bipartisan legislators pushing to establish a tax credit program that would give caregivers $5,000 to cover out-of-pocket expenses.

Also, and correct me if wrong, but I’m pretty sure the hospital that just shut down was also in his city council district. He is a disgrace, has been for years. And I’m so glad people can finally see him for who he truly is.

We must, and I mean must, follow the Georgia NAACP’s lead. They are talking to the community. They are talking to the family. For anyone, responding to the news today you should amplify this community’s demands. Be an ally in this moment. We need to SAVE Black lives.

As a reminder, what we need—what Black people need—in this moment, is police accountability and criminal justice reforms to save lives. Any demands around Mr. Arbery’s murder must include these demands.

Every statewide election in GA for the past 4 years has always had Dems slightly down or tied in polls, & in 2019, 2020, AND in 2021 Dems have been making historical wins. That trajectory is not broken. GA is winnable, and we thrive in tight races. And we need your investment

To be clear: they are only doing this because the Jim Crow runoff law that was created in 1964 is no longer serving right-wing/GOP candidates. While GA's runoff law needs to end, we must not forget that Brad is ONLY doing this because it no longer serves purpose for his party

It's not that Black women are "willing" to wait longer in line to vote. Black women are FORCED to wait longer than anyone else. I hope those who read this don't conclude that voter suppression is ok because of Black women's determination. We deserve better

Analysis | Black women are willing to wait longer in line to vote than any other demographic group

Black voters’ greater determination to vote despite longer lines may influence election results.

@KillerMike . The problem with this is that, if anything, @staceyabrams has been “meeting people where they are,” long before the campaign kicked off. The convo voters are having is which candidate represents an equitable policy agenda that helps Georgians most. #GaPol

As @tbonier said, more to come. But in the meantime, please acknowledge how AAPI and Latinx voters did the damn thing here in GA. There’s so much room to grow. Let’s invest in communities that get ignored; not celebrate flawed data that feeds into racist & losing strategies

2) There were also huge surges of AAPI voters in GA, among other groups. In the end, it is likely a record number of black voters cast a ballot in Georgia, but the state is quickly diversifying, and that will be reflected in vote shares, naturally.

To be clear: if this bill passes, it will require voters to have access printer/scanner so they can scan a copy of their photo ID, print it out, and then attach it to their absentee ballot request form. It is a poll tax.
