WHY VOTE TAB

Go to Why Vote Page. Erase the current content and replace with this: 

So what's the big deal?

In 1868, the 14th Amendment gave Black people full citizenship in America but it would be over 97 years before they could successfully execute their right to vote. During this time span poll taxes, literacy tests, and other tactics were used to undermine Black people's right to vote.

In 1965, the Voting Rights Act provided a successful pathway for Black and many disenfranchised people to vote. It is through blood, sweat and tears that Black people earned the right to vote. Many Black people protested, marched, were arrested and even died as they fought the battle for voting equality.

Voting is the perfect way to implement change for disenfranchised voters. As American citizens, regardless of race, sex, background or nationality we can stand in solidarity to stand as a whole and exercise the right to be heard. Your future and that of your community depends on YOU. Five Fifths Voter is tailored to help Black and other disenfranchised voters to seize the opportunity to be heard in America.
