  1. "Lani Guinier’s views on proportional representation were called 'dangerous' because she challenged the structures of power, and she did so in a way that would particularly benefit Black voters—the canaries in the coal mine—as well as other marginalized groups. But history has a way of vindicating these transformative ideas, from abolition to women’s suffrage to marriage equality. But this vindication can only happen if we are willing to think more radically today."

  5. So now what? Time to see if white leftists have the backbone or just the rhetoric. Your choices helped create this. We warned you. You dismissed it.
    Black voters: rights under attack. No excuses. Vote like your freedom is on the line, because it is.

  11. Today we are asking you to do something different for your Resist of the Day.

    Standing in solidarity with Black Voters Matter (blackvotersmatterfund.org), we would like to turn your attention to their "We Ain't Buying It Campaign."

    This pledge asks each person to shift their holiday spending from corporate to local and black / minority owned as much as possible. Will it require some thoughtfulness and a bit of work? Maybe. But we at Resist of the Day think this campaign is worth sharing.

    We Ain't Buying It: A Pledge for Economic Power and Collective Community

    Please consider signing the We Ain’t Buying It pledge with Black Voters Matter — a commitment to use our collective economic power to demand justice, equity, and real community investment.

    We Ain’t Buying It isn’t just about saying “no” to corporate greed and their sidelining of DEI initiatives — it’s about saying “yes” to businesses that respect, invest in, and stand with the people of the global majority.

    By signing, you’re pledging to spend intentionally, support local businesses that pour money back into our neighborhoods, and ensure every dollar reflects your values.

    We’re not just consumers — we’re community builders. Let’s make every dollar count.

    This holiday shopping season, please remember that where you put your money matters. Join me and take the pledge today.

    Click here to take the pledge: actionnetwork.org/forms/weaint

  12. Take the Black Voters Matter Pledge as part of their "We Ain't Buying It" campaign.

    This Thanksgiving season, it’s time to put our money where our values are. It’s time to recognize the power in every dollar we spend or don’t spend. That’s why we’re calling on everyone who believes in justice, equity, and real community investment to take the We Ain’t Buying It pledge.

  14. CW: US Politics: the most leveraged impact for last-minute donations

    With just ten days until Election Day, Black Voters Matter is on the ground in Black communities, mobilizing around critical issues like racial justice, voting rights, economic empowerment, and access to quality healthcare and education. They're phone banking, canvassing, offering rides to the polls, doing GOTV rallies in a dozen key states -- including Georgia, Arizona, North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Michigan.

    Helping people vote makes a different up and down the ballot -- the Presidential race isn't the only one that matters! Voting rights organizations operated on a shoestring, and every donation makes a big difference. Donating to BIPOC-led voting rights organizations is the single most leveraged way for your money to have an impact, and Black Voters Matter has done great work for years.

    So please join me in supporting Black Voters Matter!

  17. This is your aperiodic reminder that the population of Washington DC is 671k and the population of Wyoming is 581k. Why is Wyoming a state and DC not?

    An appeals court scheduled oral argument for Oct. 31 in a lawsuit over the state's congressional map. A lower court struck down the map for violating the state constitution by diminishing the voting power of Black voters in North Florida #FloridaVoterSuppression #VotingRights #BlackVotersMatter

    DC deserves statehood. Puerto Rico deserves a vote on its own status. Both are long overdue.

  26. With upwards of 670,000 residents, Washington, D.C. has a larger population than either Vermont or Wyoming. If admitted as a state, the district would have the highest proportion of Black residents of any state.

    DC deserves to be a state.

  27. "Georgia’s system was created in 1964 after the urging of Denmark Groover, who blamed Black voters for a reelection loss and proposed runoffs. Groover later acknowledged the runoff system was intended to suppress Black political representation."
