DETAILS: This is a COVID-safe car rally in support of counting every vote and staying involved in election defense until the president-elect is inaugurated.

Decorate your cars with (non-partisan) racial justice and election defense messaging (we invite you to include #endwhitesilence in recognition that white people need to speak up what is happening).
