And good evening. Im erin burnett. Outfront tonight, the fight of our lifetime. Well, thats what Kamala Harris says it is, as she slams the growing number of laws that democrats say will seriously restrict Voting Rights in america. These laws create obstacle upon obstacle. These laws make it harder for you to vote. Because they dont want you to vote. And so i will say again, your vote matters. Your voice matters. This is the fight of our lifetime. Well, right now, Ground Zero for the fight over Voting Rights is the state of texas. There are Protests Tonight outside the State Capitol where a special session is under way. Republicans there proposing legislation that critics say would suppress voting. By banning drivetHrough voting, putting new restrictions on Mailin Voting and granting new powers to Poll Watchers. The original bill had measures taken out. It was blocked by democrats, who walked out of the states capitol, leaving republicans without the minimum number of lawmakers to even

A female body. And patriarchal societies, men feel like they have the right to tell a female in their families cover her face or to cover her hair, her body. And so i took that kind of to the next level and just removed my face. So it became something like, lets say like a modern R O to be happy to be successful. And we try so hard, but theres a lot of people who will try to bay us because they all just think that we are not guilty enough and they dont want us to be in control. They dont want to be successful in speech, my chest every time i feel i can feel the checks which was really scary. I see in the a knife setting them in and i used to so to, to shut on.

At least thats thats what we certainly hope. The speed with which it how down the economy was unprecedented and while we have suffered and lost much over the past Year Efficiency and speed with which weve rolled out the vaccinations even surpassing President Bidens own initial and i might say ambitious goal has been the United States has made treme
Highlight the latest science and dr. Murphy will share an update on our efforts to strengthen confidence in the vaccines. First, i want to provide an update on all the progress we are making on vaccinations and our all out efforts in the next stage of getting more vaccinations to americans.

Importantly, as we continue to vaccinate, cases, hospitalizations, and deaths continue to fall. This Vaccination Campaign is curbing the spread of covid19, saving tens of thousands of lives and allowing millions to start living life more normally once again. That is why it is so important that we keep pushing for continued progress. In this next phase we are implementing a strategy that uses all of the resources at our

We need to increase police presence, to have bureaucracy or to push for more incarceration. We call to invest in our community and to prioritize support for mental Health And Treatment and restorative justice and responses to racialized violence. To bring all people together, including our black, indigenous, communities to promote unity. We cannot charge and punish our way out of
