We have our work cut out for us

Author: People's Weekly World

Every vote must be counted. The blood, sweat and tears that went into winning the right to vote for all demand that.

These systemic problems with our most cherished democratic right, including the lack of uniformity from state to state, county to county, precinct to precinct, need to be addressed in a serious, democratic way and remedied on the federal level.

The election results were a setback for our nation and the struggles for labor and civil rights, peace, democracy and equality. It’s important to remember, at times like these, the insightful words of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., “The moral arc of history is long, but it bends towards justice.”

Every righteous movement has had setbacks. From our country’s revolutionary birth to our second revolution to end slavery, in the struggles to expand voting rights, legalize unions and fight fascism, setbacks have happened. Yet the movements carried on. We can do no less today.
