The NAACP has released a statement while the Tarrant County Commissioners Court considers a proposal today that would cut the number of Election Day polling locations nearly in half "Let's call this what it is… voter suppression"

Tarrant County, Texas, could see around 50 percent fewer polling locations in November's election.

"Let's call this what it is… voter suppression," said NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson. "Cutting nearly half the places where people can cast a ballot doesn't save democracy money, it costs voters their voice. Tarrant County is home to a significant number of Black and Latino voters and is a majority people-of-color county. There is no question that this plan strips away polling access on a scale that will hit Black and Brown voters hardest. That is not a coincidence. It’s an intentional assault on our ability to make our voices heard and we will push back with every tool available.”

When are folks going to write pieces about the majority of white voters always voting against progress? It will never not make me livid to see bs like this, podcast bros, & political movements that are 85% white with these hot takes. Call the thing a thing. 🗣️RACISM is holding this country back.

They refused him medication, brushed off his complaints, and let him die while detained at Delaney Hall. On that day, a young girl lost her dad—and a piece of herself. Heartless monsters tried to cover up his death, but her voice WILL be heard. Justice for Edwin Jovanny Lopez Cornejo! 🎥Statusacoup
