Here’s what we know: low voter turnout is not the result of voter apathy, but concerted government efforts to suppress voters.
Here’s what we also know: we’re tired of reading post-election think-pieces that blame young voters for not turning out.
Here’s what we’d like to NOT see after Election Day: post-election think-pieces.

This tweet got us thinking:
Despite what all the “think pieces” say, we know low turnout is not voter apathy; it is the result of a government actively working to suppress voters and make voting inaccessible.
We are done being blamed for the outcomes of elections. Here is what we can do about it: turn out to vote in unprecedented numbers.

Friend,
Are you as exhausted as we are having to read articles every campaign cycle blaming us for not voting enough despite being in a political system designed to oppress our voices?
It is time for change. We can end these think pieces and debates on voter turnout that mislabel voter suppression as voter apathy by seeing unprecedented levels of participation in this election.
Everyone is expecting low turnout from our communities. Let’s prove them wrong.
The Southern Strategy is working to engage new and unlikely voters through our GOTV programs in Georgia, Texas, South Carolina, and Mississippi. Chip in today to help us motivate voters in these key states:

This election, Black, young, and women voters can decide the outcome. We must turn out and vote. Are you with us?
