Un-PAC organizers from @unpacmu and across WV want to know: why didn't @SenManchin vote to pass his own bill, the #FreedomToVote John Lewis Act? herald-dispatch.com/opinion/letter…
Em (an organizer at @unpacmu): “I really wanted to make sure that I could go (on #HungerStrike4Democracy) and make sure that I had everything prepared because I am tired of politicians not taking young people seriously and not putting the people first before money.”
Un-PAC organizers in West Virginia have been at the forefront of the campaign to fix our broken democracy: they knocked THOUSANDS of doors, and many went on #HungerStrike4Democracy to call on the Senate to pass the #FreedomToVote John Lewis Act. marshallparthenon.com/28870/news/mu-…
In this video, (March 25th, 2021) @SenRobertsWV refers to his Black constituents who were calling in demanding for the passing of the CROWN Act as “angry” and “narrow minded”, m.facebook.com/wvsenategop/vi…
What is the CROWN Act and why is it crucial for West Virginia Senators to pass it? A thread. CROWN stands for “Creating a Respectful and Open Workplace for Natural Hair” and was created back in 2019 by Dove and the CROWN Coalition; in response to Dove’s C.R.O.W.N Research Study
Check out our friends at @unpacmu! We’re so proud to have been in this fight with you! marshallparthenon.com/28870/news/mu-…
For those who have yet to see my speech at the Capitol after @Sen_JoeManchin failed to protect our #FreedomtoVote : please watch and listen to a real #WestVirginia perspective. @LetsUnpac #HungerStrike4Democracy
We've been on our second #HungerStrike4Democracy for ONE WEEK. It's hard to get out of bed and even harder to walk. Senators, you have the power to end this if you merely pass the #FreedomToVote John Lewis Act.
@Sen_JoeManchin & @SenCapito please stand with these #WV students and preserve a legacy of voting rights. #VotingRightsAct

27 brave individuals put everything on the line to tell the senate how desperately we need the #freedomtovote John Lewis Act. Make the call to your senators TODAY and let them know you’re paying attention to the #HungerStrike4Democracy

🗣️Show us what democracy looks like? THIS is what democracy looks like!🗣️ On DAY 6 of our #HungerStrike4Democracy, we were among the 29 nonviolent demonstrators ARRESTED while pleading the Senate pass the #FreedomToVote John Lewis Act before it's too late.
Kyla, age 23, took her #HungerStrike4Democracy to jail today to show her Senators the urgency of passing the #FreedomToVote John Lewis Act. Kyla previously went on hunger strike for 15 DAYS in December, and is now on DAY 6 of her relaunched strike.
Eve, aged 16 took her #HungerStrike4Democracy to jail today to plead that @MittRomney & @SenMikeLee pass the #FreedomToVote John Lewis Act.
Rylee, aged 22 and a proud West Virginian, brought her #HungerStrike4Democracy to jail today to plead that her senators restore the right to vote to over 6 million Americans who are currently disenfranchised from a former felony conviction by passing the #FreedomToVote JLA.
Ellie, 21, took her #HungerStrike4Democracy to jail b/c our elected officials continually refuse to represent those who elected them. #DeliverForVotingRights
Joseline, age 27 and on her second hunger strike, got arrested and took her #HungerStrike4Democracy to jail because she believes that our democracy should work for all of us, no matter who you are or what your political beliefs are. #FreedomToVote #FreedomToVoteJohnLewisAct
BREAKING: Young people and faith leaders on #HungerStrike4Democracy just got ARRESTED pleading for the Senate to pass the #FreedomToVote John Lewis Act.
29 young people and faith leaders on #HungerStrike4Democracy peacefully urging their Senators to pass the #FreedomToVote John Lewis Act were ARRESTED on the Capitol steps today. Senators, inaction is not an option. We would rather risk arrest than see our democracy crumble.
I don’t find it ironic that folks are STILL out protesting for voting rights and affordable healthcare on MLK Day 2022; let’s not forget that MLK Day was almost derailed (in 1983) by the same filibuster @Sen_JoeManchin @SenatorSinema continue to uphold.

PLEASE, @Sen_JoeManchin @SenCapito honor #MLKLegacy by passing #FreedomToVote John Lewis Act ensuring our democracy works for ALL Americans. @LetsUnpac Marshall students are putting everything on the line on a #HungerStrike4Democracy. Please don't let their sacrifice be in vain!
