An emergency room doctor in Boston is assembling thousands of voter registration kits for distribution at hospitals and doctor’s offices.

Later this month, students at Harvard and Yale’s medical schools are planning a contest to see which of the Ivy League rivals can register the most voters.

And a Rhode Island physician has launched an effort to get emergency ballots into the hands of patients who find themselves unexpectedly in the hospital around Election Day.

Amid the dual public health crises of COVID-19 and racism, some in the medical community are prescribing a somewhat nontraditional remedy: voting.

Hospitals, doctors and healthcare institutions across the country this month are committing to efforts to engage Americans in the election process as part of Civic Health Month, a nationwide campaign that kicked off Aug. 1.

“Duck Dynasty” patriarch Phil Robertson told Fox News’ “Watters’ World” Saturday night that the November election is a choice between “peace of mind” and “hell on earth.”

“If you look at it logically, viewing it through a spiritual lens, you’ve got the devil on one hand, you have got Jesus on the other, and those two forces are coming together,” Robertson told guest host Brian Kilmeade.

“If you punch the wrong button and go with the wrong person, there’s either hell on earth or peace of mind,” he continued. “Jesus, peace of mind, Karl Marx and his adherents, Hell on earth. That’s where we are.”

“I met with him three times since he was running,” he said. “The second time via telephone. He gave me a call and we talked it over. Three times I met with him, Kilmeade, this was at the center of our discussion. I pointed him to Jesus. We talked spiritual matters all three times.”

But I thought it was all about them

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Chaotic and often violent protests against racial injustice have topped the headlines for days, but lost in the shouting are the voices of many Black Portland residents themselves — and their feelings about the unrest are nuanced and diverse.

 

Some feel the overwhelmingly white crowds of protesters — and particularly those committing vandalism — are co-opting the Black Lives Matter movement. Others welcome white demonstrators because with their larger numbers they can draw attention to the city's racial inequity in ways that Black demonstrators alone can't.

 

Some believe deeply that there can’t be a Black Lives Matter movement without defunding the police. Others say a recent vote to cut a specialized gun violence reduction unit is behind a sharp spike in shootings that's devastated their community.

 

Primarily, there is a persistent worry that a critical opportunity for achieving racial justice in Portland's tiny Black community could be lost. Many cite competing voices and the harsh glare of a national spotlight, which has reduced the situation to a culture war when the reality is much more complex.

 

“It happens so much that the things that we care about get hijacked and get put on the back burner. And that just gets put into a big barrel with everything else,” said Neil Anderson, a Black business owner. “We all want the same thing. But so often we get drowned out.”
