Voting and Why It Is Important Program
Voting is power. It allows us to have a say in government affairs. Casting your vote indicates to political leaders how you want them to exercise their collective rights. The equal power of the people is what defines a republic, and it is what makes our democracy work. Citizens can vote for Democrats, Republicans, or independent parties—this is their choice. Make your voice heard with your vote!
Voting registration is available at our office every Wednesday from 10:30 AM to 4:00 PM. Please call to schedule your appointment.
In 1965, the Voting Rights Act was implemented because African Americans protested, fought, and died for the right of all people to vote. African Americans led the way for the freedom of all people in the USA and worldwide. Many African Americans vote to honor those who sacrificed their lives for the freedoms we enjoy today.
Voting is essential for advancing social progress. First, it is important to understand the key issues, including democracy, colonialism, classism, and capitalism, as well as the distinctions between social justice, individual liberties, and religious freedom. Reading the U.S. Constitution can provide valuable insights into these topics. Second, it is crucial to register to vote. Finally, active participation in the voting process is vital. By engaging in elections, African Americans can support candidates and policies that address systemic inequalities, improve education and healthcare, and promote a more equitable society.
Join us for the BHS Podcast to learn more about voting and the Elevating Civil Rights Program. Every election is an opportunity to shape the future of the City of Houston and the country. By voting, we can help elect leaders who align with our values, priorities, and vision for a better Houston and a better world.
