In addition to the promising signals for increased turnout, engagement groups have been working on a local level in some key areas ahead of the election to combat obstacles faced by Black voters and widen the pool of Black participation.
Allegheny County Councilman DeWitt Walton is a co-leader of the Pennsylvania Black Votes Matter engagement effort, which Walton told Business Insider is working to increase Black voter engagement in the unprecedented election. The organization is working on expanding early voting sites to African American communities in western Pennsylvania, ensuring that incarcerated individuals are voting if they are eligible, and reaching out to voters through calls, text messages, and social media.
Farooq Al-Said, a Pennsylvania resident, told Business Insider he decided last month he will be voting for the first time in the upcoming election. "I had to utilize a tool that I've never used before by going to the ballot box," said Al-Said, who is the director of Operations fora non-profit advocacy group that describes itself as a "collective of socially conscious artists and activists" in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Biden wins!!
Joe Biden is a national embarrassment President Trump did more for Black & Latino Americans in 47 months than Joe Biden did in 47 years EXCEPT Joe Biden made himself & Biden's family members MULTI MILLIONAIRES off of US Taxpayers
And they’re voting for Trump.
30% will vote for Trump compared to 8% in 2016 👀
Actually they're not. They're apathetic towards Biden like they were towards Hillary.
