Former US President Barack Obama warned against rhetoric that was designed to sow fear. He said this at a rally supporting Democratic candidates on Friday, a packed day of campaigning for POTUS44 and his successor, POTUS.
They are both on the road urging voters to go to the polls to determine the control of Congress.
Speak out against the increased hate, violence, and attacks on democracy. There have been racist murders in Kentucky, pipe bombs mailed to public figures across the country, and the killing of 11 people in an anti-Semitic attack in Pennsylvania...etc.
The ongoing attempts to roll back basic civil rights from a threat to legislate away the rights of people to systematic voter disenfranchisement across multiple states. All of these are demonstrations of hate and prejudice that have no place in our democracy or anywhere on earth.
We are working together to counter discrimination and make the #USA a safe and fair place to live and work. We support these efforts and are proud to be working to create a strong and equitable civil society.
Voting is the most effective and immediate way for all of us to take action for equity and safety is to vote this November 6 and encourage our families, friends, and neighbors to do the same. #VOTE
