bible african-american president we saw a remarkable black turnout again

and to be able to say
uh... this expect with a combination of generations coming together
uh... those who with the for the film restoration to those who were in this
new lillian generation coming together
for when it comes to court in a positive and i is submitting
the war the to field you know with tip it is not affecting the energy this here
and this is the not just hope but this time is hoping to termination
to get it done that's not bill is going to be much more
uh... even with some of the things that are on alert folks ought to work
together the people would make push our folks to work to get something to remove
the today about determination now a lot of people of maybe argument that now
that this president presents won his second term
that american does not going to come out again the sort of our stations going to
go down what do you say that and that's not true i mean if you look at this they
had nobody has had a lot of that but
uh... that american vote has been going up steadily for uh... over a decade
especially because of black youth in black women and so young people are very
much uh... than tuning in for at least since nineteen ninety-two and if you
look at those numbers
and i believe that ditching did and they're going to be consistent voters
moving forward and to set the stage aids admission folks uh... sees the results
out of boating and so that's the continuum
but how do we keep them in gauged
working on public policy in the kitchen of the issues that they care about
david into many of the involved the same activities so we have set up a black-tie
vote without as they should their work and now that's a dual what's next our
policy use policy in processing gauging young people seagate administration to
gays congress and i just that because a lot of work in the states so they're
working on because she weakened outfits establish rights because we saw what
happened if the election right and so we know we have to continue that fight
in-state status to china is the supreme court of the committee voting rights act
are very very soon so we are a lot more work to do with their it's a life-long
process engagement you know i hear you have and i think one of the scene from a
lot of the g_o_p_ is now pushing for states to allocate electoral votes by
congressional stricken now by a winner take all
in that affect the sort of suppress the vote and take away the meaning of the
vote for so many african-americans and minorities out there
would order to be involved in stopping that
i think part of what we have to do is make sure that
um... we stay involved in the voting voting rights from confirmed that eh...
across-the-board um... not worked heavily on this issue has come bubbling
up at some new thing
on and i think the and it's not that that people can always going on
we have the ability to push back on elected officials and said no not on i
watched and so that's what you saw on the lecture people send those lines
because we knew
we know what was that
and so we still on we knew what they what was about and we knew we had to
stand up
and we had to do that i have a one-year-old u_n_ one one call duties
with office and i'm not just for those of us were right here in tampa those old

life in this country
