I am angry because I am tired of seeing Black people in America continually be subject to the same behaviors by those in “positions of power.”
It’s pathetic that in the year 2020 we are still asking for fair treatment in the communities, schools, justice system, and workplace.
I am a professionally trained lobbyist and community organizer that has worked in and around politics and policy for almost 17 years at the local, state and federal levels of government and one thing that I am constantly reminded…I am Black!
So, if you have a police force that continually abuses Black people that tone is set by the Police Chief and you have a Mayor and City Council that are allowing it.
In 2016, Black voter turnout was 59.6% in the Presidential election and lower than that in some local races.
[Lesotho Times] Political rallies are super spreaders of Covid-19 and threaten to derail the country's efforts to contain the pandemic, Health Minister Semano Sekatle has warned.
The state of voting rights in 2021 may not be the slave-era of 1821 or the Jim Crow era of 1921, but let there be no doubt we are seeing a renewed systematic and racist effort to restrict the ability of Black voters to exercise the right for which so many have died.

Low turnout has marred the voters roll verification exercise as the first phase of the exercise ends Tuesday in some parts of the central and northern regions.
The exercise also involved voter ID replacement and transfer.
For example in Neno, the exercise is also going at a slow pace, but NICE District Education Officer Wallace Kudzala is optimistic the numbers will improve between today when the exercising is ending.
In Ntchisi, NICE Assistant Civic Education Officer Mercy Kazembe, attributes the low turn out to a lack of clarity on the actual voting day.

TAXPAYERS COULD see a huge windfall of nearly $750 million if Jamaica holds both the local government and general elections together.
The local government vote is due in November this year, while the general election is due next February.
However, with the constitutional allowance of three months post due date in special circumstances, local government elections can be held no later than next February.
Ruling parties have often used local government polls as a test of the political temperature before lining up their ducks for the general election.
There is currently no fixed date for voting in Jamaica, but general elections are constitutionally due every five years, and local government polls every three years.
