"Our association is based on a statement from Dr. Lord which states, 'Power without adoration, is crazy and harmful. What's more love without power is wistful and iron deficient. Power at its best is love executed in the requests of equity and equity at its best is power adjusting all that stands against adoration'," Jamil Davis, Black Voters Matter North Florida Regional Organizer, said.
