DOSE OF JOE -- Sept 24

Friends -- see below for today's Dose of Joe.

Yesterday, Joe Biden traveled to Charlotte, North Carolina where he attended a Black economic summit. At the summit, Joe Biden discussed how as President he would work to not only root out systematic racism, but rebuild our economy in a way that finally brings everyone along.

Joe Biden released a statement on the events in Louisville, Kentucky regarding the death of Breonna Taylor. In his statement, he called for addressing the use of excessive force, banning choke holds, and overhauling no-knock warrants.

Today, Jill Biden will travel to Virginia during early voting. Dr. Biden will participate in a listening session with Delegate Jeion Ward (Hampton Roads), Virginia Education Association President Dr. James Fedderman, and other leading African American educators in Hampton Roads, meet with military families in Hampton Roads, and join a roundtable with working moms in Richmond.

Today, Doug Emhoff will travel virtually to Texas. First, he will do a virtual tour of NadaMoo! in Austin where he will discuss the challenges of running a small business during COVID-19 with CEO and Laredo native Daniel Nicholson. After, Mr. Emhoff will kick-off a Texas Women for Biden event with Amy O’Rourke. In the evening, Mr. Emhoff will launch a Texas phonebank.

Biden for President launched four new ads featuring small business owners in key battleground states struggling to survive under Donald Trump’s failed leadership, and why they believe Joe Biden can turn this country for small businesses. “Left Behind,” “Kimberly,” “Celeste,” “Anthony J,” will run digitally and on TV in Arizona, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.

JOE’S SOCIAL MEDIA TO AMPLIFY

TWITTER

@JoeBiden: This is our moment to tackle systemic racism head-on and build a nation true to our founding ideals. A nation where all men and women are not only created equal — but treated equally. Here's how we'll advance racial economic equity:

@JoeBiden: I’ve dealt with guys like Donald Trump my whole life. Guys who look down on you because they’ve got a lot of money. Guys who think they’re better than you. Guys who inherited everything they ever got in life — and then squandered it.

@JoeBiden: We can’t let 2016 repeat itself. There’s simply too much on the line for anyone to sit this election out. Get registered to vote today: http://iwillvote.com #NationalVoterRegistrationDay
