"I can't breathe." These were the last words of George Floyd, a young man suffocated to death by an on-duty police officer. Now, the words are echoed all over the country by protesters fighting for a change: a change that hopes to resolve the systematic racial injustice in America. Following the protests, governors vowed to reform police departments, sports facilities cancelled games in support of the movements, and recognition was given to George Floyd and other black citizens that were victims of the racial injustice.

I think that the freedom to vote is so important and special about America. America is a place where you can be whatever you want to be. You have to work hard and be persistent. We need someone to lead us and make big decisions. So we should get to pick who makes those decisions for us and that is what we vote on.

The freedom to vote is very important, specifically with the presidential election coming up. Voting is crucial in any election because it gives people a voice, and allows them to be a part of decision making in government. Without voting any person could just be assigned the role of president without hearing other people's opinion. That one person would have too much power. This also prevents the position of president being passed down in a singular family, or people marrying for power. With voting we can elect any eligible candidate who the people want.
