My message for my fellow citizens American: women (White and black), black people, all immigrants and especially Haitian immigrants. This election will define the future of America, your future and the future of your children and great grandchildren. You must not forget that white supremacist didn’t want women (White and black), and black people to vote.
“Women must fight for the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution to grant them the right to vote. Women’s Right to vote passed by Congress June 4, 1919 and ratified on August 19, 2020.”
Heroes like Rosa Park and many others like Martin Luther King Jr, fought and eventually King dies for us (blacks and immigrants) to have the right to vote. “The 14th Amendment, approved by Congress in 1866 and ratified in 1868 granted citizenship to all persons “born or naturalized in the United States, including former slaves, and guaranteed “equal protection of the laws”, to all citizens”.
“It takes another 4 years, in 1870, for Congress to pass the last of the three so-called Reconstruction Amendment, the 15th Amendment, which stated that voting rights could not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” These are facts! Doing your own research or even google it!
As I mentioned previously: Women, Immigrants and African American rights and the very basic and fundamental shape of the American Society the way we know it are at stake in this November 2024 General Election. Please don’t take liberty and the right that you have for granted. As a woman, black, immigrant, single mother and cancer survivor, I know and understand through my own life experience that nothing is granted in this life. We must stay vigilant and do our part in order to keep what our ancestors fought for us to enjoy today.
Vote! Vote! Vote! Vote! Vote ! Vote Like your lives depend on it! Trust me our way of living in America and the world Depends on this November General Election of this year.
