RUSH EXCERPT:
BARBER: “You know so much is on the ballot. Black voters don’t vote alone. The same forces threatening black people threaten young, voters Latinos, Native Americans, women, so black voters are impacted by issues. But they’re looking at saying is 60.9% of black voters, black people are poor and low wealth. They stand on things like living wages. Millions of black voters are on are without health care. Among the 87 million people without health care. If millions of black voters are affected by climate change and formerly incarcerated, disenfranchised, where the candidates stand on that? Where the candidates stand on women’s rights issues and the issues affecting their body and health? Black voters are very smart. They are looking at that. What candidates need to do is understand all of that is on the ballot. In 2020, we touched 2.1 million million voters and ten states. We are going up to 5 million this year in 15 states, because poor and low wealthy voters represent 15% of voters across the nation and 45% of voters and battleground states. So what Democrats are the administration needs to understand, black voters are looking for what issues are you fighting for? Not one voting you quit. But what issues are you fighting for? And would you say, give us a majority in the house, given just a majority in the Senate, that’s Manchin proof and Republican proof, and we will in the first hundred days deliver on health care and living wages, and voting rights, and we will break the filibuster for not only women’s issues but voting rights and health care. That’s with that steak. That’s with black voters are looking for."
