The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC)

I have been selected by the SPLC to be one of the National Representatives to participate in a data-gathering survey initiative for insights and Intel of Voter Suppression that now Permeates our Nation. This survey will give the SPLC the chance and purposes to respond with legal services for those who are victims of discrimination in the following ways:

.Voting Rights-Hate Groups-Discrimination and Intolerance

.Immigration Reform, and the Civil Rights Movement

Know This: The 1965 Voting Rights Act enfranchised millions of Black, Brown, Native Americans, Latinx, and Asian American citizens. In particular, those who were previously denied an equal opportunity to cast a vote at the ballot box. However, are you aware that in 2013, The Shelby vs Holder Act gutted and altered the initial version of the 1965 Voting Rights Decision?

That ruling suggested that the 1965 Voting Rights document and its people contained therein are considered "Post-Racial"  and that voters of color no longer needed protection.

And since then we have witnessed an avalanche and tidal wave of State Laws sweeping across the country with the specific purposes that are designed to suppress the vote of the very same communities that the 1965 Voting Rights Act was created to protect.  

Some States has gone so far as to deploy Voter Suppression tactics in the following ways:

.Purging Voter Rolls-Restricting Voting Rights-Block returning citizens 

.Instituting voter ID Laws-Limiting Access to voting by US Mail

.And other measures that disproportionately affect Low-Income, Black Brown, Latinx, and Asian American Voters

Moreover, the SPLC is destined, deliberately, and intentionally not going to let that happen. For over 50 years the SPLC had led the fight to turn the promise of the Civil Rights Movement into reality for people who face Systematic Racism and the manacles chains of Discrimination.

The intent is that all of the voter suppression laws can, and will be overturned. Because the SPLC shall continue to fight with every Fiber of their Being to grasp and muster the resiliency to make sure that every election is fair, honest, and that justice is served for all with regards to Diversity, Inclusion, and Equality.

I am asking all of you my social media family, friends, and followers to join in this extremely worthwhile noble cause for the sake of all humanity, in particular, Black, Brown, Latinx, and Asian Americans

You can view the SPLC website here: www.splcenter.org or drop them a note at 400 Washington Ave, Montgomery, Alabama 36104, (334)956-8200. Be sure to note and mentioned my name

Very important that you be an activist for justice-silence create fertile ground for hate and discrimination to grow. Let your voice be heard in these difficult and trying times
