Arnwine said there will be three national days of action to engage Black voters in every state. In Illinois, according to Betty Magness, Illinois political director, the National Black Voter Day was held on September 16th. “The mid-term election of 2022 will be a test of our democracy,” Arnwine said. “With the voting barriers that have been erected to dissuade, confuse and frustrate Black, Brown, Native American and young voters, the 2022 mid-term election will be the greatest challenge our democracy has faced.” However, Arnwine added, “The Black community has a history of overcoming evil and ill-will barriers to equality.”
