Black Lives won’t matter if you do not show up to vote! Councilmember Pro Tem Cushingberry is very
adamant about that. If people want change they must speak up with their
decision on who is going to run their government. The tragic events in Dallas,
Baton Rouge, and Minneapolis this weekend is collateral damage of failing
to engage in the direction of the leadership of your community.
When you vote, start from the back of the
ballot so that you don’t miss out on the Judges, and ballot proposals that will
determine where your money is going. Voting for judges is more important than
voting for Presidents and Representatives because a judge has an immediate
impact on your day to day life.
Issues of self-determination, education, law enforcement,
and neighborhood economic empowerment can be settled at the ballot box. For instance we have one of the best County Prosecutors in the United States in
Kym Worthy because she does not tolerate any B.S. in Wayne County from anyone. Therefore, we are on a mission to turn up the turnout for in August by
encouraging people to vote early at the following locations:
- Detroit Elections Bureau on 2978 W. Grand Blvd
- Wayne County Community College East and West Campus at 5901 Conner or 8200 West Outer Drive
- Coleman Young Municipal Center 2 Woodward Ave (2nd Floor)
These locations are open right now until August 1st,
from 8am to 4pm to vote early and be done with it. If you are a Michigan
resident and a felon, you can vote by just showing up TO VOTE. As long as you
are not physically incarcerated you can vote early and be done with it. If you
are 60 years old or more, you get a free pass to vote early absentee. Others people
from ages 18 to 59 can vote early too. For
people who do not live in Michigan and require a picture ID, take your cell
phone and shoot a selfie with your ballot in your hand and vote like your life
depended on it.
Finally we are encouraging you to Get it Right in Black and
White by declaring July 21, 2016 get out and vote early day. The headquarters for the day will be Desmond's
Elegant Affairs Lounge on 12924 Puritan Detroit MI 48227. We will be organizing and taking people
to vote early at Wayne County Community College West Campus at 8100 W. Outer
Drive Detroit MI 48227.
Then enjoy the
evening at the White Party with Councilmember ProTem George Cushingberry Jr.
and friends for an elegant evening of networking and socializing. Come and meet
candidates who are running for office in while you are enjoying the elegant
service of Business Owner Desmond Gibbons that has put time, effort, and money
into his business.
Mr. Gibbons is the kind of business owner that we need in
the City of Detroit and we strongly encourage you to support him and other entrepreneurs
like the ones on the Livernois Avenue of Fashion and many more businesses in
our city.
