Did you know that a quarter of eligible voters do not vote? Some are held back by illness, disability, or transportation issues. But many simply believe their vote won’t matter. Their lack of confidence in our democracy threatens to become a self-fulfilling prophecy. We can’t let it. Indeed, our democracy is on the brink, but we can pull it back before it’s too late. What’s your personal plan to get out the vote? Can you register five new voters this month? Will you help them request and return a mail-in ballot, if available? Can you offer to drive them to the polls if that’s their only choice? Let’s fight for democracy. Go to poorpeoplescampaign.org/voting to get started today. The time is now to register for a movement that votes.
