Elzie added, "The four of us can't speak for every black person in America." However, she added, “As cliché as the phrase is, knowledge really is power in this case. I want people to make the best-informed decisions for themselves and their community, and I think Campaign Zero definitely helps.”
For instance, Elzie said, she scrolled over the Campaign Zero table showing presidential candidates and whether they'd taken a specific stand on the activists' 10 core issues. The Democratic candidates had many boxes filled in with positions, but the Republicans' were empty.
“It maps out plain as day who has spoken on what," Elzie said. “Just looking at this chart, the Republicans have said nothing about anything that remotely affects what’s happening in America right now.”
It's a tool, Packnett added, to “ultimately hold the 2016 candidates accountable."
