    Who starts?

    Why do you vote, mama?
  • 0:08 - 0:11
    I vote because it's really
    important that my voice is heard
  • 0:11 - 0:14
    It is a privilege that my
    great grandmother
  • 0:14 - 0:16
    and her mother
    and her mother
  • 0:16 - 0:18
    did not have
  • 0:18 - 0:21
    If I'm not voting then no one's
    thinking about my issues
  • 0:21 - 0:22
    Access to health care

  • 0:31 - 0:34
    All these policies personally affect me
  • 0:34 - 0:37
    I am so inspired by this young beautiful
    lady sitting next to me
  • 0:37 - 0:39
    because she is informed
  • 0:39 - 0:44
    I look at women like her and they were the
    ones who taught me to speak up for myself
  • 0:44 - 0:47
    We're beginning to see
    that we do make a difference
  • 0:47 - 0:49
    Voting is the way to do it
  • 0:49 - 0:54
    Every woman – please vote
    for yourself and for your sisters

    racism and empower women
