{PBJFlorida} FW: [WARNING] Your voter registration may need updating


 How rights are slowly taken away.
They fought for our right to vote. Now use it.
Go
 
Read: Five separate states have asked the Supreme Court to repeal the Voting Rights Act of 1965—a monumental achievement of the Civil Rights Movement.1  All across the country conservatives are making it harder for people of color to vote.2 It's the same dirty game, just a different playbook.
Think: People fought and bled so that we could vote. We're here to help you keep fighting. 
Act: Register to vote today. You must register in your state by Tuesday, October 9th.
Thanks and peace,
