The Reverend Al Sharpton is in Harrisburg, rallying the community to vote and speaking out against the controversial Voter ID Law.
The Reverend Al Sharpton says that all eyes are on the swing state of Pennsylvania this election and voters need to show up in big numbers to make sure their voices are heard.
"Stand up and let us do what God would have us do, thank you and God Bless," concluded Sharpton as he spoke.
Friday, Reverend Al Sharpton spoke to the community at Goodwin Memorial Family Life Center and along with Mayor Linda Thompson, they stressed how important it is to vote in this election.
"The big thing we got to do as Reverend Sharpton told us is on November 6 we cannot make Pennsylvania a shameful state,” commented Mayor Linda Thompson. “We need to get there in those backyard corridors and bring those brothers out of those houses and those sisters and get them to the polls."
"Pennsylvania will be very much watched by those of us around the nation because this is the state that stopped what we felt was unfair," Sharpton told the crowd.
"Everybody is on fire right now. We're ready to go and take care of what we need to take care of," urged Central PA Chairwoman of the African-American Chamber of Commerce Shariah Brown.
Pennsylvania has been on the country's radar with the controversial Voter ID Law and Sharpton says voters need to take advantage of this opportunity.
We think it was a tremendous victory that the Voter ID Laws were not instituted for this election but that victory must now be met with a record turnout," Sharpton echoed.
Even though the Voter ID Law has been held until after the election, Sharpton says the battle is far from over.
"Pennsylvania is a critical swing state,” Sharpton stated. “It's the state where Voter ID was given a temporary hold, we need to make that permanent."
Sharpton will speak at Camp Curtin Elementary School at 7 p.m. for the rest of his rally.
