‘Let’s Vote,’ Lance-Bottoms Says

Mayor Keisha Lance-Bottoms of Atlanta urged viewers of the Democratic National Convention to combat voter suppression and get out to the polls.

There are those who are disgracefully using this pandemic to spread misinformation and interfere with voting, forcing many in 2020 to still risk their lives to exercise their sacred right to vote — a right that has already been paid for with the blood, sweat, tears and lives of so many. So let’s stand up for our children, our children’s children and for this great democracy that our ancestors worked to build, and let’s vote. And let’s organize to get others to vote with us. We know how important it is that we elect real leaders like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, people of honor and integrity who hold justice close to their hearts and believe that the lives of my four black children matter.
