Tony StarkI’m a big fan of Stacey Abrams' Fair Fight Action and one of their actions this summer is amplifying the efforts of Black Voters Matter, which is having a summer Freedom Ride.
This week, BVM is will be traveling by bus for a voter outreach tour from Mississippi to Washington D.C., making stops in key southern states.
BVM’s Freedom Rides for Voting Rights, which continues the tradition of the original Freedom Rides, comes as more than 40 states consider legislation to restrict voting rights, which would have a disproportionate impact on Black communities. In addition to voter outreach and engagement, the bus tour will raise awareness about this harmful legislation and empower communities to combat restrictions to early voting, absentee ballots, and other important reforms. Show up and help spread the word.

Beginning in June the “Blackest Bus in America” will kick off the tour this time starting in Georgia and ending in Washington D.C., making stops in key southern states along the way to rally with partner organizations, meet with voters, discuss the issues impacting our communities and draw attention and engagement to combat this voter suppression movement that many states are now facing. We can’t wait to see you there ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
