Getting out the vote ahead of election day

Join Us On The Ground For Our Upcoming Mississippi Get Out The Vote Civil Rights Bus Tour [Black Voters Matter logo]( Hi Friend, Join Us On The Ground For Our Upcoming Mississippi Get Out The Vote Civil Rights Bus Tour Tomorrow, we are hitting the road in Mississippi where we will be visiting many significant historical civil rights locations, including the Delta area, where pivotal voting rights battles unfolded in the 1950s and 1960s. At these historic sights, we'll reflect on our history while confronting the challenges we face today. At the heart of this tour, we’ll have a rally where you'll have the opportunity to hear from civil rights veterans such as Dr. Leslie McLemore and Rev.
