With me tonight is special guest PA Legislative Black Caucus Chair State Representative Donna Johnson Bullock to discuss where we are and where we need to go as a society.
The scenes from the riots that took place at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 looked like something out of a third world country. We must all remember that there is a new election every 6 months, and that there is always a winner and a loser.

The U.S. Postal Service itself has warned states it cannot guarantee that all ballots cast by mail for the Nov. 3 election will arrive in time to be counted, even if ballots are mailed by state deadlines. That is raising the possibility that millions of voters could be disenfranchised.It's the latest chaotic development involving the agency, which has found itself in the middle of a high-stakes election year debate over who gets to vote in America, and how. These questions are extremely important in the middle of the Coronavirus pandemic.

A discussion with panelists Brittany S. Smalls, Pennsylvania State Coordinator, Black Voters Matter Fund, and Jean Handley, Fair Districts PA, Dauphin County Coordinator on why its important to fill out the census this year, and how it relates to the redistricting next year here in Pennsylvania. Gerrymandering of districts often marginalizes votes and allowed Elected Officials to choose their voters rather than voters choose their Elected Officials!SHOW LESS
