NFL player: Voting is your right and politics is your business
The fact is: Athletes are role models, whether they play for a professional team, in college or in high school. Many of us see that as an opportunity to give back to our community and serve as a voice for the voiceless.At the same time, we need to empower people to use the voice they already have. Every eligible American has a right to make their voice heard through the voting process. Spreading that message is something we all, as citizens, can <h2>James White Authentic Jersey</h2>
claim as our area of expertise.I grew up in a family of little means in Oakland, California. I know that many people living in inner cities with lower incomes don’t believe their vote makes a difference and often are forced to be more concerned about putting food on the table than participating in an election.More: School discipline is racist enough for black students like me. Arming teachers will make it worse.Voting is a fundamental American right, so why do some of us still not have it?Black men, where were you when Jasper Williams insulted black women and Aretha Franklin?The facts unfortunately support that notion. The Census Bureau reported that just 54 percent of those who earned less than $50,000 per year voted in the 2016 election. More than 80 percent <h2>Markus Kuhn Authentic Jersey</h2>
of people who earned at least $150,000 voted in the same election. Only 70 percent of all voting-age citizens were even registered in the 2016 election, and just 61 percent actually voted overall.Voting matters. Turning out to vote is the way we make politicians care about the issues we care https://www.robgronkowskifanonlie.com/authentic-julian-edelman-jersey-sale-1_74.html
about, and it can impact the quality of our health care, education and criminal justice system.Regardless of political party, voters need to know how a candidate’s agenda would affect families and communities. Whether it’s voting for our representatives in Washington, D.C., or a local neighborhood commission, the way our government works and whom it best serves is determined by who shows up to be counted.As athletes, as public figures and as fellow Americans, we can help those who haven’t taken the first step by encouraging them to learn more about our government and providing opportunities to register to vote.Last month, I hosted a community event through my ACES Foundation in Buffalo, New York, that offered STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) labs for middle- and high-school students, a health and wellness expo with free screenings for them and their families, and voter registration through the nonpartisan RISE to Vote campaign of the Ross Initiative in Sports for Equality (RISE). Many of my Bills teammates came out to support the cause and the community.Providing kids with more educational opportunities and access to quality health care is essential. But adding a voter registration element to the event was our way of reminding families that all of these things are connected.Elections are about more than picking winners and losers and affect more than just one issue. They are about how our government determines not only its moral values but also its fiscal values, and decide to what <h2>Julian Edelman Authentic Jersey</h2>
extent our country lives up to its core principles of equality and justice for all.As athletes, we’ve been at the forefront of advocating for causes that are most important to our communities. But we can’t https://www.robgronkowskifanonlie.com
do it alone. RISE to Vote came and registered Bills players in May who weren’t already registered, and as leaders in our community, we are helping our fans in Buffalo do the same. Empowering citizens to take part in our democracy and encouraging them to be civically engaged ensures that our government truly will work for the people.It’s never too late to get involved.Lorenzo Alexander is a 14-year NFL veteran and two-time Pro-Bowler who is in his third season with the Buffalo Bills.Dion Lewis Jersey
