i know all eyes are on the presidential candidates for this election, and rightfully so, but some very wonderful and important things are happening statewide that should be celebrated and highlighted, so here’s a few:
Florida passed Amendment 2, which will raise minimum wage to $15/hour by 2026
South Dakota, Montana, Arizona and New Jersey both passed an Amendment that legalized marijuana
Utah will now be removing gendered language in the Utah Constitution and will replace it with gender-neutral language
California passed Prop 17, which restores voting rights to
previously imprisoned citizens
Delaware elected the first ever openly trans state senator
Ritchie Torres and Mondaire Jones are the first ever openly gay black members of congress
Cori Bush is the first ever woman of color to win a seat in Congress in Missouri
Mauree Turner became the first non-binary state lawmaker in America and the first Muslim member of the Oklahoma state house
Oregon has become the first state to decriminalize all drugs
Kim Jackson is the first out LGBTQ+ state senator in Georgia

if biden wins there will be white ppl that think “oh everything is fine now bc trump is out of office” and will ignore everything afterwards… even if biden wins the racism in this country will not go away but they will pretend everything is fine bc they do not want to make an effort after trump is gone
