Fuel Deborah Watts' DNC Journey & Fight 4 Our Future!

Dear family, friends and supporters.

I hope you had a safe and joyous yet reflective Juneteenth!

As I think about the future I want you to join me in watching and listening to a recent interview. See attached link. https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&si=SxuXJ4LcwaD4-AiO&v=8cXUQgouNSI

This interview with Cory Booker is a good one and one of the reasons why I ran to be a Biden/Harris National Delegate to the Democratic National Convention (DNC)

As many of you may know, I have spent my formative years (over 20) in Corporate America, as a wife, mother to my 3 daughters, a niece and a nephew,

•an author, a voice to the voiceless

•Paul Harris Fellow

•Rotary club founding member and president

•Small business owner

•Candidate for Congress

•Women's Leadership Coalition

•DFL affirmative action

•African American and Senior caucus

•Delegate to Senate, State and County conventions,

•State Central Committee

•Election Judge

•Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts

•Black Women Rising

•Non Partisan Civic engagement groups and more;

and now a grand mother of 5 and a non profit executive. I have dedicated my life to social justice and empowering communities, youth, women and families, and my family's Journey from Tragedy to Triumph and Turning Pain to Purpose with preserving the Legacy of Emmett Till and his mother Mamie Till Mobley’ pursuit of truth, justice and accountability while advocating on a local, state (Emmett Louis Till Victims Recovery Program Law https://www.health.state.mn.us/people/victimrecovery/index.html ) and national level (Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crimes Act https://www.justice.gov/crt/cold-case-initiative, Emmett Till Anti Lynching Bill - link to signing by President Biden https://youtu.be/78Hb3yhAcrc?si=AWq5l2o4aJavuzgE , Emmett Till and Mamie Till Mobley’ National Monument https://www.npr.org/2023/07/23/1189664409/emmett-till-national-monuments-biden and Mamie Till Mobley Congressional Gold medal).

The interview with Cory Booker is a call to action for us all and should be a mandate! Don't you agree? Let's turn our worry into work! And Our Pain into Purpose! Honoring those who have fought, died and sacrificed for us all, I'm fighting with my presence, voice and vote for our future and holding those accountable that have the positional power to help push important policies and reforms forward and stop the clock from turning backwards and the attack on our; civil and human rights, democracy, history and basic humanity.

As I prepare to represent the progress that has been made and the work yet to be done, I need your $upport to be fully present in Chicago in August as a National Delegate. Our goal is to raise $3.8K (that is for Hotel expenses at the designated location for our delegation and airfare). Would you be willing to contribute to my National Delegate fundraiser via go fund me? Any amount contributed would be greatly appreciated and a blessing.

Thank$ in advance for your $upport.

I hope it convicts you like it did me.

Have a safe, peaceful and justice filled summer!

Deborah Watts ~ 2024 DNC Delegate!
