TAMIKA MALLORY: When we go to a protest,
and then we don't vote, we're missing a link.
It becomes hallow, because you have done the great work
of bringing awareness, but then we
didn't finish the job of ensuring
that the policy makers match what's happening on the street.
No justice.
CROWD: No peace.
TAMIKA MALLORY: My name is Tamika Mallory.
I am one of the four co-founders of Until Freedom.
CROWD: Our vote matters.
Our vote matters.
The purpose of our tour is really
to encourage people to get out the vote,
understanding that in this particular moment,
not voting is not an option.
We're traveling across this country,
going to do no one is even knocking on doors, because we
believe that we can actually make
a difference by centering the most marginalized communities.
And we have to finish the job.
You gotta get out here and vote.
And I'm doing it because Breonna can't.
I'm doing it because Breonna couldn't get justice.
It's not the first time I voted, but it's
the first time I've ever felt like my life depended on it.
TAMIKA MALLORY: Tamika Palmer understands that she did not
just get a call because her daughter was killed,
she got a call to stand and fight for justice.
That Breonna Taylor would now be used
as a catalyst for a movement that will change
the conditions for black people in America
and for black women in America.
In the Breonna Taylor case, one of the things
that it has been a teaching moment
and how elections have consequences
is Daniel Cameron, the attorney general.
They didn't vote in the election.
But what they found out as they were waiting for him to give us
justice for Breonna, and he didn't, what they found out
is that he was committed to the people who supported him,
the people who voted for him, the Fraternal Order of Police.
He, when taking the endorsement, receiving the endorsement,
accepting the endorsement, said that I understand
what this endorsement means.
I am to be a voice and an advocate for law enforcement.
So he damn sure didn't have a commitment to Breonna Taylor.
And I think as I was out with protesters,
people were asking me, when is the election?
It's unfortunate that the crises has provided opportunity
for education, and now you have more people who
are understanding that either--
In this presidential election, you don't get to stay home.
You may not feel comfortable with the candidates
at the top of the ticket, but you can't stay home.
The idea of it for me is, let's get you to the polls
and educate you about this down ballot process
and what it means for your local community.
Generally once you get to the polls,
you become a participating member
of the electoral process.
When you are out on the streets every day, either
living in marginalized communities
or protesting for people who have been caught up
in this system that continues to oppress us, what you recognize
is that we don't have an option.
We must participate in every single part of what
makes this nation go round.
Everyone rises on the backs of Black Americans.
We are experiencing a moment when people are saying,
give me justice and freedom, and give it to me,
and be real about it.
