“In this current wave, it is now imperative

three Ws also apply. Don’t let your guard
down, even if you are vaccinated at this
time. Avoid social gatherings as much as
humanly possible,”Deyalsingh told the
Guardian.
PM Rowley, meanwhile, used a public
speaking platform to ask locals to keep
infection rates and fatalities down, noting

in fact, choosing to fight to survive. All I
can say to you tonight on this platform is
the most important admonition I can give
you, protect yourself from this virus. Get
vaccinated.”

will resume to full normalcy in the classroom.
Before long, sooner rather than
later, we are going to go back to full
return to the classroom,” Education Minister

Officials say they are encouraged by the
fact that 51 percent of the adult population
has been fully vaccinated but some
outlying regions have rates as low as 23
percent. Medical authorities in Trinidad

ple and pass this critical legislation.”
According to Fair Elections for NY
(FENY), a coalition of 200-plus organizations
that believe Americans deserve
a responsive, accountable government,
American democracy is facing an
unprecedented assault.
It said Congress is running out of
time to pass critical voting reform bills
in time for new legislation to be implemented
for the 2022 elections.
“If the bills aren’t passed soon, Americans
could be stuck with voter suppression
and partisan maps for the 2022
elections,” said FENY, which organized
the press conference.
It said the Freedom to Vote Act will:
Set national standards for voters to
safely and freely cast their ballots; prevent
partisan political maps; ban dark
money and lessen the influence of big
money in politics; ensure that trusted
local election officials count every vote;
and prevent state lawmakers from sabotaging
elections in order to take and
hold power.
While a majority of votes are there
in the House and Senate for the Freedom
to Vote Act and John Lewis Voting
Rights Advancement Act, FENY said the
bills haven’t passed yet due to Republican
obstruction.
The elected officials at the press conference
urged Democrats to do whatever
it takes to pass these bills.
“As Democrats, we said we would
do something different. We said if we
got into power, we would make sure we
would not only have a democracy that
holds, but we would strengthen it,” said
Williams, the son of Grenadian immigrants.
“That means the Freedom to
Vote Act must get passed, and it must
pass now.”
“New York is at a pivotal moment in
our fight for voting rights,” said Biaggi.
“Just this month, we failed to pass ballot
proposals that would have secured
crucial measures to protect our voting
rights in our State.
“Unfortunately, the GOP has been
spending heavily to usurp voting rights
in all 50 states,” she added. “It is absolutely
necessary for the Democratic
Party to open their eyes to the urgency
of this moment and strengthen their
commitment to securing voting rights
for all Americans.
“President Biden and Senate Majority
Leader Schumer must stand their
ground and fight to pass the Freedom to
Vote Act and John Lewis Voting Rights
Advancement Act,” Biaggi continued.
“Our democracy depends on it.”
“The right to vote is one of the most
basic rights and founding principles of
our nation,” Hevesi said. “It is absolutely
imperative that Congress pass the Freedom
to Vote Act immediately in order to
ensure our 2022 elections are open to
all, fair, and protected.”
