I’m sorry your vote your voice,
our collective power a
gathering of other
community service organizations
besides the Jacksonville
chapter of the links
incorporated what they want to
talk to you a little bit about
who we are in what we stand
for but the purpose of that is
really to bring us all
together. So that we have a
collective voice, we’re able to
hear from thought leaders in
the community nonpartisan.
So that we are well educated
and well armed when we go to
the polls. We also want to
increase the numbers at the
polls. So I think that’s why
it’s so important and one thing
that you and several things
that you may be talking about
low wages health care gun
reform voter suppression.
>> Quality education for our
children and these are things
that everyone the community
needs to be tapped and
understand why you’re voting
for someone in particular
and Bishop, you know this was
important to have Bethel why
why the church why Bethel
well.
>> The church in because that’s
but one please people gather.
I mean. weekly.
We have an opportunity
to communicate.
Particular to those things that
are important in the community.
So the church is the place
Bethel is. A historic
site. Yeah. But it could be
at any a church. Bethel has a
history.
>> Being involved in. The
rights of our people.
>> That’s why have you been to police that at the church and at the church and to
>> Terry one thing that you it
talks about was you know there
are a lot of groups doing a lot
of good things in this
community and this was really
hoping to bring everyone
together and and Bethel a great
location that can hold a lot of
folks and you have some great
speakers as well. We do
we a very large group of
speakers be we want to focus on
the census so invicta core.
>> We want to focus on rights
restoration sodas money will be
there. We’ll have our dream
only in there to talk about
quality
health care. So I think we get
so many more but we have.
Leaders around
the community that are able to
answer our questions
and here are concerns and I
think that’s really the key
it’s not really it’s not a you
know
it’s not when we show we have
things we want to talk about it
and we still have questions
that we want to ask
but we want the right people in
place to help us understand.
You know the issues and how
really make change happen in
the Jacksonville community it’s
so important education is so
important. So that when you go
to the polls, you know what
you’re saying yes to and you
know why you’re voting for
someone so it’s a great
opportunities, the first one.

another one next year. So it’s
