Welcome to October 25th, 2020 for Today’s Sunday Service. We are speaking about the state of the country (USA), which with the publicity that the United States is receiving it very well feels like a worldwide conflict. When we look at it there is a lot on the stack. We have COVID19 gearing up for a strong second wave, economic disasters, natural disasters, and much much more. So many of us are rushing to the mailbox to go vote, drive through, in person, or if you’re paranoid about your vote being received then you’re rushing to the post office.
No You’re Gonna Lose…No You Are!
Taking a quick glance at the polls on CNN we see Joe Biden at a lead of 52% to Donald Trump’s 42%.
Angela Rye and Snoop Dogg
Angela Rye interviewed Snoop Dogg via Instagram Live and spoke about voting with the hip hop mogul. Snoop Dogg was voting for the first time, and through research realized that he could vote despite having a criminal record in California. Snoop Dogg stated that he would be voting at the Inglewood Forum and also made a mention to Maxine Waters who is also up for re-election for US House Rep for California. Maxine Waters has served in the U.S. House since 1990. Read up on some more of Maxine Waters here.
Black Actors have also been involved in the elections through live table reads. Recently Gabrielle Union hosted a “Zoom Where it Happens” table read for a Friends all black cast to uplift the whenweallvote.org campaign
Following up on the Ice Cube involvement within this 2020 election it seems that Ice Cube is starting to become affected by the backlash from his conversation with the Trump campaign. Just to recap, Ice Cube made a “Contract with Black America” back in March 2020, and called out both Biden and Trump for their lack of “real work” to assist the Black community. Through this call to action he received calls from both the Biden and Trump campaign, and according to Ice Cube only the Trump Campaign spoke of immediate action. Through Ice Cube’s personal plan for Black people he was able to give points to the Trump Platinum Plan, yet the Black Community (or at least Black Twitter) has disagreed with Ice Cube speaking with Trump.
Ice Cube recently went on Hot 97 and spoke about his decision to work with Trump and also his work with Diddy’s “Our Black Party. For more information about the party visit Our Black Party.
Ice Cube spoke about helping to pass the AB3121 assembly bill to begin research for reparations for Black People, and the campaign’s and the economic justice actions that Ice Cube was working on to fight for equality. Ice Cube states that his and his team’s heavy push for justice attracted both campaigns, and that is how he led to do work with Trump.
VOTE
Thoughts for people who believe voting doesn’t matter.
We both understand that there are many levels of politics and how they play into our everyday life. When it comes to loans, business opportunities, real estate, and much more. Some of the fear that has been upheld within the Black Community is that our vote doesn’t matter. But what is the truth, and what has been the problem up until today. Find out what matches your interest, because maybe you dont agree with the Republicans or Democrats, and possibly identify more with Independent Party beliefs. Take a free course online to enhance your knowledge and understanding of politics if needed.
TREMG has also created events and articles to promote voting, especially with Black Men.
Despite your personal beliefs regarding voting, it is your right, and your life will be affected by this campaign. So please go vote, and seek information and clarity if needed. Here is a resource for voting to get you started via vote.org.
