He noted that the President is vocally advocating, and his administration is pushing the restoration of voting rights. An act to address the issue is now sitting in the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe understand the importance of voting,\u201d Richmond said, explaining that the first order of business is to craft an act which all 50 Democrats can agree on. With 50 votes the Vice President would be the tie breaker. \u201cThere are some challenges there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Richmond explained that the administration is fighting on this issue using a three-pronged approach \u2013 in the justice department, filing suits in the courts; pushing the act in the halls of congress; and organizing and educating voters on the street corners.<\/p>\n<p>The advisor said that voter suppression happens in several ways\u2014creating barriers to voting like requiring identifications and also persuading people that voting doesn\u2019t matter. Voters become discouraged<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe best and most immediate thing we can do is restore the voting rights act,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Richmond also addressed the administration\u2019s promise to increase education funding \u2014 from pre-kindergarten to HBCUs \u2014 noting that the country\u2019s public schools have turned into a system of haves and have nots.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is something that flies under the radar far too often,\u201d he said. \u201cWe want to make sure three- and four-year olds go to school for free\u2026 It\u2019s Time to invest in our children and put our money where our mouth is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Richmond also addressed the issues of home ownership, generational wealth and the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, which, among other things, directs the Department of Justice (DOJ) to create uniform accreditation standards for law enforcement agencies and requires law enforcement officers to complete training on racial profiling, implicit bias, and the duty to intervene when another officer uses excessive force.<\/p>\n<p>The House passed the measure in May, but it sits in the Senate now, where it still needs votes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat process went on and on,\u201d Richmond said. \u201cSenate Republicans wouldn\u2019t even go as far as President (Donald) Trump\u2019s executive order. They were backtracking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere congress won\u2019t act, we will,\u201d he said, noting that the DOJ has banned choke holds. \u201cWe will do as much as we possibly can according to the constitution. The one thing this president is not afraid of doing is action with executive orders\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Richmond said the administration is not letting congress off the hook and will continue to push for legislation equity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are intentional about investing in the African-American community,\u201d he concluded. \u201cMaking sure African-Americans get to chart their own future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NNPA NEWSWIRE \u2014 Cedric Richmond addressed the administration\u2019s promise to increase education funding \u2014 from
