“In November we had record turnout, instead of all the rejoicing that democracy is working, we’ve had states instead decided to make it tougher to vote,” says Pastor Haynes. He goes on to explain why he and other members of the clergy traveled to Austin, Texas to take a stand. They are calling for four specific things that he feels would make a dramatic chance in our society which include:

    • The passage of the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
    • The passing of the For The People Act.
    • $15 minimum wage.
    • Necessity for all of us taking a stand against injustice in all its forms.
