Abstract

This article, titled "Meeting the Moment for Democracy," discusses the author's personal experiences and reflections on voting as a Black woman in America. The author emphasizes the importance of voting as a birthright and a symbol of equality, while acknowledging the historical struggles faced by women and people of color to gain full access to the franchise. The article also highlights the challenges to democracy posed by former President Donald Trump's false claims of voter fraud and the need for a diverse coalition of Americans to protect voting rights. The author calls on readers to defend democracy by participating in the upcoming election and championing the rights of all Americans. [Extracted from the article]
