Dear Friend,

Today is VOTING DAY and I am PUMPED! Since I registered to vote at 18 I have never, ever missed an election. I even once drove multiple hours each direction with VERY loud dance music blasting out of the radio to vote – and it still remains one of my best voting memories.

Why? Because there is so much power in us all voting and so much strength in demanding a bright future for our communities together. When we put our marks on a ballot, we can help make that better future happen. Voters make the future. You can make the future. Quite literally. Voters set the direction, have far-reaching power together, and build our worlds for tomorrow.

Hang onto that feeling. Use this moment. Turn up the volume on your favorite song. Then vote. Right now, today, And get 5 friends to vote too. Together, we can vote to bring that bright future into existence.

• If you have a vote-by-mail ballot, use our link to find a dropbox near you and then go put your ballot in the dropbox ASAP. *Bonus tip: Read the instructions on your vote-by-mail ballot TWICE to be sure you use the envelope properly. Each state has different vote-by-mail ballot instructions. Here’s that link: https://www.momsrising.org/campaigns/momsvote

• If you are voting in-person, use our link to find out where to vote near you and then make sure your voting plan includes some fun: Your favorite dance or voting music at the ready, a special voting snack, a facemask if needed, and a fully charged phone. *Bonus tip: If you’re going to have to wait in line to vote, make it like a parade to democracy. Bring snacks to share! Maybe even a fun folding chair & cozy blanket! Play music! Plan ahead to stand in line with friends and family in a socially distanced way -- and be able to hold line spots if people need breaks. Plan for fun!

Thank you.

In every corner of the country, we’re helping others to vote and building a movement for gender justice, racial justice and economic justice; confirming what we've known all along, that moms reaching out to other moms is one of the most powerful forces in the world. I couldn’t be more honored to be on the MomsRising Team.
