Herd on the Hill

Hey hey Charlotte NC 💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸

Mike Luckovich AJC nails it yet again

🚨THE FINAL WEEKEND 🚨

🔥calling all NEW YORK CITY-area Friends of the Herd! 💥

The Herd is part of a team trying to fill three more buses with door-knocking volunteers for Pennsylvania canvassing for Harris/Walz this Saturday, November 2. That's tomorrow!

Volunteers would leave New York City at 8am sharp, head to northeast Philadelphia and complete two canvassing shifts (with a break in between), boarding the bus back to NYC around 6pm.

It's satisfying work, and you're doing it with like-minded people!

Friends, please do two things:

1. Tag your New York-area friends in the comments
2. DM us if you want more info

💥 LET'S LEAVE IT ALL ON THE FIELD 💥

Jimmie Lee Jackson, age 26, earned $6 a day as a pulpwood cutter in Marion, Alabama.

In February 1965, he was shot dead by a state trooper during a civil rights protest.

In his obituary, The New York Times noted that Jackson “has become interested in the campaign headed by Dr King and others to abolish restrictions on voting in the Alabama Black Belt, a campaign that began in mid-January in nearby Selma.”

With tears in his eyes, Dr King spoke at Jackson’s funeral. “We must not be bitter and we must not harbor ideas of retaliating with violence,” he said. “We must not lose faith in our white brothers.”

In the names of Jimmie Lee Jackson and so many others who pushed tirelessly for voting rights, vote.

Rev James Reeb traveled from Boston to Alabama in 1965 to support the voting rights efforts put in place by Dr King, John Lewis and many others.

He and two other ministers were attacked by five white men, one wielding a club. Reeb died two days later from his wounds.

In Reeb's memory, vote.

**RURAL KANSAS,** folks.

We are NOT going back!

The time to volunteer to send letters to voters is winding down.

But the time to volunteer to cure ballots? It’s now!

Ballot curing is simply alerting a voter that they forgot to sign their ballot, or use the security sleeve. It’s letting them know they can cast a new ballot and ensure their voice is heard!

TW: Misogyny

Elon Musk’s PAC is running this ad.

Would the eligible male voters in your lives tolerate even the suggestion of this vulgar, sexist epithet to describe their daughters, sisters, mothers and wive?

There is only one way to combat this hate: Vote Harris/Walz.

It’s not terribly difficult to draw a line between Rev Joseph Carter, whose full story is in the comments, and the racist depravity on display last night in Madison Square Garden.

In the name of Rev Carter, vote.

Friend of the Herd Pat shared this important information about provisional ballots.

First, a quick definition:

"Provisional ballots are a backup voting method intended to allow voters who cannot establish their eligibility at the polling place to cast their ballot and have it counted."
