If you do this, then you will find, as others have found before you, that the vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other men.

You use what you have at your disposal to enact as much change as you can.

There’s something more powerful than bombs, and that’s your vote. People must vote!

At the end of the day, it is up to women to use and change the law to effect change. The law is our best weapon against patriarchy.

Our purpose is not — and shall never be-either the quest for power or the desire to punish. We seek to increase the power of the people over all their governments, not to enhance the power of the Federal Government over any of the people. For the life of this Republic, our people have zealously guarded their liberty against abuses of power by their governments. The one weapon they have used is the mightiest weapon in the arsenal of democracy — the vote. This has been enough, for as Woodrow Wilson said, "The instrument of all reform in America is the ballot."

How can the will of the people be undermined by a vote of the people?

Our votes are our power, they are not for sale.

Presidents and Congresses, laws and lawsuits can open the doors to the polling places and open the doors to the wondrous rewards which await the wise use of the ballot. But only the individual Negro, and all others who have been denied the right to vote, can really walk through those doors, and can use that right, and can transform the vote into an instrument of justice and fulfillment.

Make no mistake- you can change things. Question everything, take nothing for granted; argue with all received ideas, don't respect what does not deserve respect; speak your mind, don't censor yourself; use your imagination and express what it tells you to express. These are the weapons of the mind.

You created the reality you now exist in with your thoughts, which means you can use the very same power of thought to change it.

We say: votes for all and vote for change!

Your capacity to own something is your capacity to change something.

You created the reality you now exists in with your thoughts, which means you can use the very same power of thought to change it.

Using the power of decision gives you the capacity to get past any excuse to change any and every part of your life in an instant.
