“Need a reason to vote? I’ve got 160,000 reasons, and counting. Do it for them.”
Twenty-twenty—a year none of us could have predicted. Amidst a racial reckoning and a global pandemic that has simultaneously transformed our lives, we’re arguably facing the most consequential election of our time.
On November 3, 2020, millions of Americans will use their collective power to write our country’s next chapter.

It was a milestone for our democracy, but there’s still much work to be done.
That work begins with holding free and fair elections. This month marks the centennial of women’s right to vote—though not all women were able to exercise that right immediately.

Every right and liberty I enjoy has been voted into law. Now those of us who have those rights must vote in the interest of others. The world I want to live in isn't reflected in our government officials and that needs to change.
