Dear John,
We are now just over a month away from this year’s crucial elections – where everything from living wages to women’s rights is on the ballot.
It’s important to know where the major candidates stand on the issues, make sure you are registered, and have a plan to vote.
We’ve put together a voting education page to support you as you make preparations to vote. The page offers a variety of resources to prepare for this year’s elections, including:
A Voting Record: This voting record graphic will help you see where major candidates and parties stand on the big issues of the day, from raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour to lowering prescription drug prices. It offers detailed information about how they’ve voted on these issues in the past.
Voter Protection Resources: These resources include voter protection hotlines and websites for help if you face any issues voting in this year’s elections. Trained experts will ensure you are able to cast a ballot.
Everything You Need to Vote: This graphic includes clickable links to essential resources, such as important deadlines for voting in your state, registration checks, absentee ballot requests, ballot previews ahead of time, finding local polling place locators, election reminders, and registration to vote.
We encourage you to share this page with your friends, family, and social networks. These resources will help guarantee that we can mobilize many poor and low-income infrequent voters during this year’s elections.
UPCOMING EVENTS
We are hosting another Get Out the Vote event this weekend, Oct. 4th through Oct. 6th.
We will be canvassing, tabling, and doing outreach in neighborhoods with high concentrations of poor and low-wage infrequent voters. We are committed to reaching 15 million poor and low-wage infrequent voters through our Get Out The Vote efforts to wake the sleeping giant of this nation’s largest potential swing vote.
