When We All Vote

It’s our 6th birthday today! Help us celebrate by donating $6 at whenweallvote.org/donate. Your support will help us continue to get the vote out this election.

We all have a role to play when it comes to protecting our democracy. 🙌🏾 We are looking forward to tomorrow’s discussion with We The Action. Join us live at 3 pm ET! RSVP now at: https://lnkd.in/ePH7Fejn

Today is Black Women’s #EqualPayDay. On average, a Black woman who works full time in the U.S. has to work until today — July 9th — to earn what a white man was paid in the year prior. 🪙🙅🏽♀️💵 Black women continue to be underpaid, undervalued, and overrepresented in jobs that lack important workplace protections. The politicians WE elect can implement policies to address this pay inequality across industries. Register to vote today at weall.vote/register.

While you're celebrating the 4th, make sure you're celebrating your vote, too. 🗳️ This election season is more important than ever, and we want to give a huge thanks to When We All Vote for bringing their #CultureOfDemocracyTour to Nashville. When We All Vote's mission to increase voter participation is in perfect alignment with our mission to empower and uplift Black voices. Together, we provided Blavity House Party attendees with the resources and knowledge they need to make their voices heard at the ballot box this year. Thank you, When We All Vote for making an impact with us!

“It’s not that we’re fighting for special rights just for us. We’re fighting for the same rights.” — Jim Obergefell Nine years ago today, the landmark Supreme Court ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges recognized a simple truth: love is love. This decision ruled that all states must license marriages to same-sex couples and recognize marriages lawfully performed out of state. #ObergefellVHodges guaranteed marriage equality in a monumental ruling for the LGBTQIA community. 🏳️🌈

Barriers to the ballot box have increased significantly since the U.S. Supreme Court gutted a critical section of the Voting Rights Act with their Shelby County v. Holder ruling 11 years ago today. In her dissenting opinion, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote: “Throwing out preclearance when it has worked and is continuing to work to stop discriminatory changes is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet.” Consider today’s anniversary a reminder to check your voter registration at WeAll.Vote/register.

Tamir Rice should be turning 22 today — but instead, his life was stolen at just 12 years old when he was killed by an Ohio police officer. Happy heavenly birthday, Tamir. We’re celebrating your life and joy today. 🕊️

On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and the constitutional right to an abortion with their decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. The impacts of the decision have been devastating — but voters in states across the country are fighting back. Since 2022, abortion remains undefeated at the ballot box. In 2024, it’s still on the ballot. Register to vote now with us and FEMINIST at https://lnkd.in/eb6Q2nVP.
