As we approach November 5, 2024, when Americans will head to the polls to elect the next president—just three days after our PSV Sneaker Soiree—we stand at a historic moment. PSV encourages every community member to celebrate this milestone and exercise their right to vote! More than 60 nations, from India to El Salvador, will also hold elections in 2024, accounting for over half of the world’s population. Yet, the U.S. election is one in which we all can participate. The decisions made on that one day will shape national and global policies, relationships, and our collective future. Now more than ever, it’s crucial for Black and Brown voters to reclaim their stake in our country. While some may feel that patriotism is entangled with a broken, suppressive system, we must remember that our ancestors, through force or choice, helped build this nation. The America of tomorrow is a construct—what it becomes next is up to us. This is our moment to act, as a community who understands the value and importance of our voice. On November 2, we will come together to celebrate the meaningful work of our mission, and the power we hold in shaping the days ahead. Our community is vital—and so is our vote.
