Hi–

Today is National Voter Registration Day. As a first-time presidential
voter, I'm so excited to cast my ballot for my future.

I am voting because I want a president who will take action and make
change. I don't want a leader who sows division, fuels hatred, and brags
about being pro-gun and supporting the NRA.

I want a president who cares about the American people and will fight for
us. I want a president who brings us together, fuels love, justice, and
equality. I want a president who takes the gun violence epidemic
seriously, stands for gun violence prevention, and will take bold action.

from gun violence by making sure you're registered to vote.

Then, take two more important actions to help us defeat gun extremists at
the ballot box this November:

* [ [link removed] ]Make your plan to vote
* [ [link removed] ]Sign up to mobilize gun sense voters from home

I'm voting because so many American students and youth across the nation
have experienced gun violence in their schools—watching their classmates,
best friends, and teachers die. Communities have been traumatized. America
has become numb to gun violence because of how common and "normal" it has
become in our society. We deserve to go to school, go to class, and grow
up without the fear of gun violence.

As a volunteer with Students Demand Action, I stay motivated in this work
for my brother who is in high school, my friends in college, my parents at
work—my fear that gun violence could change my life in a matter of
seconds.

This election is our chance to make our voices heard—to cast our ballots
for the future we want to build. A future where we can grow up without the
fear of gun violence, where our communities are safe, and common-sense gun
laws are a reality. [ [link removed] ]Do your part by confirming your voter registration
today.

One vote can change the outcome of an election. And with so much at stake
this November, we can't afford to sit on the sidelines.

Thanks for being in this fight,
