Call to Voter Engagement

Statement by Bishop Tony Minor on Voting:  

"We are in an unprecedented time. It is a time that calls all of us to step out of comfort zone and apathy to stop an effort to turn back the clock on progress, equality, and liberation. We have a long way to go but because of our sacrifice and courage, we have come a mighty long way.  We have been here before and we can stand on the shoulders of some many of leaders who stepped up to the plate for justice, equality and liberation. Simply put, we need everyone one to vote and to help inspire others to do the same."

"As the a leader in the Vessels Vote Movement, we are calling for a 4 step process:  1) Verify your voter status, 2) Help others make a decision to either vote by mail or vote early, 3) Encourage others to take immediate action and don't delay, 4) Learn as much as you can about this election, help educate others, and get involved and stay involved."

"Lets get it done in November and let's stay involved 1) to ensure that liberation policies, programs and actions are provided for all people especially for the most vulnerable, 2) to push open the doors of opportunity, 3) and to build power and sustainable wealth within our families and communities."
