9/22 Daily Does of Joe
Friends -- see below for today's Dose of Joe.
• Yesterday, Joe Biden delivered a powerful and moving speech in Manitowoc, Wisconsin‚— where Obama won by more than seven points in 2008, and Trump won the county by more than 21 points in 2016. In his speech, Joe made his pitch directly to Obama-Trump voters and reinforced that he sees this race as Scranton versus Park Avenue.
• Kamala Harris will travel to Flint and Detroit, Michigan. She will tour small businesses in Flint that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. And in Detroit, she will participate in a "Shop Talk" roundtable conversation with Black men and a voter mobilization event for National Voter Registration Day and to highlight September 24, the first day Michiganders can start voting in person.
• Jill Biden will virtually meet with leaders in Erie County, Pennsylvania, to discuss the importance of community colleges and the role they play as engines of socio-economic mobility for students and the communities that surround them. She will speak about her experience as a community college professor and emphasize the Biden-Harris plan to expand access to secondary education.
• Doug Emhoff will travel virtually to Colorado where he will do a virtual tour of Rosenberg's Bagels & Delicatessen in Denver, join a Colorado National Voter Registration Day Rally with Secretary of State Jena Griswold, Attorney General Phil Weiser, State Representatives Leslie Herod, Dylan Roberts, and Gracie Abrams, and join a ‘cafecito’ with Biden for President Colorado Latino Council, moderated by Senate President Leroy Garcia and State Senator Julie Gonzales.
• Yesterday, Biden for President announced it is pushing its paid media offensive into key battleground expansion states, Georgia and Iowa, growing the campaign’s robust advertising program to span a total of 12 critical states between now and Election Day and represent the broad and diverse map that paves multiple paths for Joe Biden to reach 270 electoral votes. Additionally, the campaign debuted new ads in Georgia: “Shop Talk: Criminal Justice Reform,” and “Shop Talk: Yes She Can.”
• Yesterday, the Actors’ Equity Association, the national labor union representing more than 51,000 professional actors and stage managers in live theatre, and Community Change Voters, a political action committee working to expand the electorate by enabling infrequent voters, endorsed Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for President and Vice President of the United States.
• Additionally, Theodore Roosevelt IV and New Mexico Senator Martin Heinrich both authored op-eds blasting Trump for falsely claiming he was a ‘great environmentalist’. And a group of former Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) heads, including two who served under Republican presidents, joined a Biden for President press call to discuss the urgent need to address the climate crisis as extreme weather events engulf the country, how the clean air and clean water are on the ballot this election, and the responsibility of the EPA to act.

@joebiden: When the virus came, President Trump wasn’t thinking about you, he was thinking about his own reelection. It’s how Trump looks at the world: It’s always about him, never about us. You deserve a president who will put you first.
@joebiden: Thank you for the warm welcome, Manitowoc! With the help of companies like Wisconsin Aluminum Foundry, we're going to revitalize American manufacturing and make sure the future is made here in America.

@joebiden: Honor and decency are on the ballot this November.
@joebiden: It was my honor to preside over Justice Ginsburg’s confirmation hearings, and to support her accession to the Supreme Court. Her opinions, and her dissents, will shape the basis of our law for generations to come — and we’ll be a more just and equal nation because of it.
@joebiden: The Supreme Court is on the ballot. And the outcome will impact everything from health care to civil rights — affecting generations to come. Vote. Our future depends on it.

https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1307491919384260609How Jewish history and the Holocaust fueled Ruth Bader Ginsburg's quest for justice
https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1307316521996349441I had the good fortune to be a Jew born and raised in the U.S.A. My father left Odessa bound for the New World in 1909, at age 13; my mother was first in her large family to be born here, in 1903, just a few months after her parents and older siblings landed in New York. What is the difference between a bookkeeper in New York’s garment district and a Supreme Court Justice? Just one generation, my mother’s life and mine bear witness. Where else but America could that happen?
My heritage as a Jew and my occupation as a judge fit together symmetrically. The demand for justice runs through the entirety of Jewish history and Jewish tradition. I take pride in and draw strength from my heritage, as signs in my chambers attest: a large silver mezuzah on my door post, gift from the Shulamith School for Girls in Brooklyn; on three walls, in artists’ renditions of Hebrew letters, the command from Deuteronomy: “Zedek, zedek, tirdof” - “Justice, justice shall you pursue.” Those words are ever-present reminders of what judges must do that they “may thrive.”,,,,
I am proud to live in a country where Jews are not afraid to say who we are, the second country after Israel to have set aside a day each year, this day, to remember the Holocaust, to learn of and from that era of inhumanity, to renew our efforts to repair the world’s tears. I feel the more secure because this capital city includes a museum dedicated to educating the world, so that all may know, through proof beyond doubt, that the unimaginable in fact happened.....
May the memory of those who perished remain vibrant to all who dwell in this fair land, people of every color and creed. May that memory strengthen our resolve to aid those at home and abroad who suffer from injustice born of ignorance and intolerance, to combat crimes that stem from racism and prejudice, and to remain ever engaged in the quest for democracy and respect for the human dignity of all the world’s people.
