Everyone must vote in all elections.Focus on LOCAL (*mayor/city council, school board, etc); STATE (*Governor,Lt governor,Secretary of State, state senators/representatives, etc);Federal (Congressional representatives/US Senators,*POTUS/VicePOTUS).We must stay vigilant, keep informed, spread the truth, vote, assist with registration, donate, march, and stay in 'good trouble.'All hands on deck are needed to promote the John Louis Bill/address SCOTUS-increase to 13/ethics/statehood of Puerto Rico & Washington DC; form allegiances with other minorities

So what's the plan now? Will black leadership coalesce and announce a unified strategic action plan?

There is a deeper history to peoples marches on Washington and the exact opposite of what happened January 6, 2021. From labor to civil rights, we acted within the limits of the First Amendment to continue the work of forming "a more perfect union". And yes, thank you also for pointing us rightly to the SCOTUS of 1896, Plessy v. Ferguson decision that served to stop the progressive and needed work for our nation to get closer to our founders goal.
