‘The Work’ looks different for each of us, not least because we come to it with different racial identities. In last week’s episode we talked about how we personally arrived at this moment, what the work looks like for us, how we are consistently assessing our lives to become more anti-racist - and about finding joy in the midst of it all.

TEXAS: You have until 6/15 to register to vote in the 2020 Primaries by mail. But here’s the catch - the office must *receive* your registration by 7/2. What this means is that even if your registration is post-marked by the deadline but received after 7/2 it won’t be valid.
-
Texas is one of few states in the entire country that does not offer online voter registration... in the year 2020. There’s an illusion of an online application process but after you complete it, you still have to print and mail. Very unclear info - and of course this is all on purpose. If your vote didn’t matter they wouldn’t work so hard to suppress it.
-
If you’re not yet registered, head to votetexas.gov, fill out/print your application and get that in the mail ASAP.
Your voice matters.

NYC- June 16th is the cutoff to request your absentee ballot for the state and federal primaries. Legit takes 2 minutes to do on vote.nyc.

There’s a lot of work to do but also a lot of us to make change - we have to keep applying pressure on all sides and be ready to SHOW UP.

06/03/2020

This is a long game, TEAFAM. We have a momentum to make change like one we’ve never seen in our lifetimes. But It won’t happen overnight and it will take true effort and commitment.
