WASHINGTON – Hip Hop Caucus strongly condemns the Trump Administration’s executive order, Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections, and its blatant attempt to suppress our vote under the guise of election integrity. We see this for what it is: a calculated effort to disenfranchise working-class, Black, Brown, and Indigenous voters by limiting access to the ballot while adding new barriers to proving citizenship requirements. These tactics are not new, but we refuse to sit back and let this become business as usual. Through our Respect My Vote! campaign, we will continue to organize, educate, and mobilize our communities to defend democracy and advocate for increased access to voting methods. We demand that every voice be heard and every vote respected.
