What is BlackPac, and should we endorse it???

From BlackPac website - http://www.blackpac.com/
OPINION: One week from election day, a longtime friend of mine called and asked if I knew anything about an organization known as BlackPac which was backing many black candidates nationwide, including Georgia Democrat Lucy McBath who is running for Congress.

I was embarrassed to say no, but told him I would check it out. Then we got into a discussion centered around Republicans running Georgia, lack of black leadership, President Trump's nationalist agenda, and a mood of political doom progressives face in the United States. We discussed campaign financing, self-help, mass incarceration, and technical education. 

Our conclusion is that we have to continue to fight for everything, and politics is not a sprint but is a marathon. We must continue to hold politicians accountable.

Later that evening, I sat down with my husband to watch the movie The Kingdom. The ending was mind-blowing and speaks to fighting a war when both sides have the same philosophy. Stalemate!

Politicians are warriors who lead us to the brink of inhumanity if we follow the wrong ones. 

On Tuesday, vote for someone who will carry out your agenda. But more importantly, lead yourself!
