Politics and voting is not about politicians.
It’s about US. It’s about making sure that WE have what we need for our COMMUNITY. When you think about politics or voting, think about that.

And please, make your plans now to get to the polls, with all of your people, and vote for US!

In Texas, if you have a felony conviction, you CAN register and vote — as long as you’re off paper.

Texans:
Register to vote by October 5
Vote Early October 19-30
Election Day is Tue, Nov 3

If you want to understand what all the talk about Tarrant County Commissioners Court is about, and why voting in local elections is important, watch today’s session. Link in bio under ‘Watch: Local Government Meetings’. tinyurl.com/unitedfortworth

The county judge, Tim O’Hare (middle) is up for reelection in November. Today he is attempting to cut half of our Election Day polling places (again — he already slashed polling places before the primaries in March) — primarily in Black and brown communities and on college campuses. This is voter suppression. And it is only one of the many ways this majority MAGA court has intentionally sought to make life harder, not better, for the residents of Tarrant County — especially the most vulnerable residents.

The woman sitting next to Tim, Alisa Simmons, is running to replace him. There are two other seats on this court up for election in November — with a possibility to “flip” the court majority from MAGA to progressive. Please do your research, and VOTE EARLY, October 19-30. Election Day is November 3. Last day to register to vote is October 5. If you have a felony conviction, YOU CAN REGISTER AND VOTE, as long as you are off paper. Start researching and planning your vote now at tinyurl.com/votertoolbox.

They can shut down as many polling places as their MAGA hearts desire — but when we still show up, we still win. Let’s do it.

Our voting rights are under attack like never before. Why? Because white supremacy knows that when more people, especially people who are Black, brown, young, and conscious vote, it loses, and WE improve the quality of our lives and the material conditions we encounter everyday.

One of the main reasons why people don’t vote is because they don’t know what to do. That’s why we made a one-stop shop at the link in our bio for you to find out what to do, so you can confidently cast your ballot, in every election, every time. Educational Voter guides, campaign finance reports, voting records of candidates, voting times, locations, and more are at tinyurl.com/votertoolbox.

Midterm Election Day is Tuesday, November 3, and Early Voting is October 19-30. Please make a plan to vote early. Register to vote by October 5, and check your registration status now and every 30 days to make sure you are registered with an “A” voting status. You CAN know before you go. Everything you need is right here ➡️✊🏾 tinyurl.com/votertoolbox

Have you ever wondered if your vote matters? Not sure about what the midterm elections are or why they’re important? Or maybe you’re even wondering if what you do in the community can actually make a difference? Then this FREE event is just for you!

Join United Fort Worth, this Thursday, 7-9p in Arlington at the Bob Duncan Center, for a laid-back sip & paint themed night of fun, good food & mocktails, and conversation just for Black Tarrant County voters! We’ll talk about getting ready to vote in the midterm election this November (we are 85 days away from early voting!), understanding the importance of being engaged *outside* of elections, and we’re just going to kick back and have fun together! Our goal is to LISTEN and LEARN how we can support you on your journey toward civic engagement that makes an impact!

Space is limited at this intimate gathering for deep listening and sharing, so register at tinyurl.com/ufwpaint as soon as possible to secure your spot! Link in bio! Please share with your Tarrant County kinfolks who you know would benefit, but make sure they register asasp! See y’all Thursday!

Mr. Johnny Lewis. We love you and we will miss you.

Mr. Johnny Lewis is a Fort Worth legend. A true community advocate and leader. A beautiful friend. If you know anything about the Historic Southside, then you knew Mr. Johnny Lewis. These are pictures from four years ago today, July 14, when he was an esteemed panelist at our “Stories of Resistance from our Elders” night during Freedom Summer School ‘22. Then, like every time we had the opportunity to see him, he passionately shared his wisdom, history, insights on the present day, and his thoughtful generosity. We were blessed to be in his presence and we will never forget what he taught us and the mark he left on our hearts. Mr. Lewis passed away Sunday afternoon at 78. Rest in Peace, dear Mr. Johnny Lewis.
