We Are Not Ready
The haphazard, unorganized and under-informed rush by Republicans to reduce social distancing requirements is a disproportionate threat to the health and well-being of Black and Hispanic Americans because of the underlying health issues and illnesses effecting our communities growing out of historic and continuing inequalities. They should be subject to legal accountability for all the negative consequences of their irresponsible political behavior and legislative actions.
Building A Black Agenda
Economic and Environmental Justice and Equity and Prosperity matter and must be the cornerstones of a Black political and policy agenda growing out of this pandemic.
Protect Our Health & Right To Vote
Not only do we have to deal with the coronavirus as a health threat, we now also have to deal with it as a threat to our right to vote and democracy.
Republicans need to stop opposing the expansion of the right to vote by mail and start offering objective ideas to help keep voters safe so that we remain a nation “of the people, by the people, for the people”. Morality still matters.
Voters should never forget that during this pandemic, Democrats tried to help protect their health and right to vote and which party was solely concerned about partisan advantage and grabbing more political power to push our nation and states backward.
Multi-Tasking: July Run-Off
As we begin to restart the economy, Black Democrats still also need to remain focused on voting in the July Texas Democratic Party Run-Off Election to elect our Party’s United States Senate Nominee.
No Straight Ticket Voting In November
We also need to be ready for the November General Election. This year there will be no straight-ticket voting. Spread the word that we all must Vote the Entire Ballot, From The Top To The Bottom-From The Race for President To The Last Race For County Candidates.
Register To Vote
Make sure everyone in your family and all your friends know how important this election is. Also, make sure that you and all of them are registered to vote. RegisterTexas.com
Join The Texas Coalition of Black Democrats & Donate
I also want to encourage all of you to join the Texas Coalition of Black Democrats and make a monthly donation of $5 to help us educate and turnout at least one and a half million Black voters for the November General Election, to help turn Texas Blue.
Texas Donors: Donate To TCBD
We can’t turn Texas Blue if Texas small-dollar donors send all their donations to out of state PACs and candidates.
Texas big-dollar donors and bundlers also need to invest in Texas and especially the Texas Coalition of Black Democrats.
Winning Back The United States Senate
If Democrats want to take back the United States Senate, then Texas Democratic donors need to help us win the Texas United States Senate seat. They also need to help us win back the Texas State House so we have a seat at the table and real leverage in the redistricting process during the 2021 legislative session.
Census: Respond
If you have not already done so, respond to the Census Count.
Stay Ready & Stay Safe
It looks like it’s time to get back to work. Let’s make sure we stay safe and cover all our bases to make things better for all the people of our State and Nation.
Stay Safe and Stay Strong! Black voters will be the decisive voters in the November 2020 General Election. We Matter!
Be Blessed.
Carroll G. Robinson
