It’s critical to remember that American history is immigrant history. While debates may continue, what remains undeniable is that New Americans contribute to our country every single day—through their work, innovation, and cultural influence, enriching our communities in countless ways.

As election season approaches, let’s seize the opportunity to strengthen our democracy by electing leaders who reflect the rich diversity of our country!

In today’s political climate, protecting access to the ballot is more important than ever. Poll monitoring plays a key role in ensuring fair and smooth voting processes. Poll monitors are volunteers who observe polling sites, report any issues, and help safeguard our democracy.

On Tuesday, October 8th at 3pm ET, our friends at the Four Freedoms Action Fund will be hosting a webinar to share the importance of poll monitoring, how to recruit and train volunteers, and how to use monitoring to build power.

Election Day is just over a month away! Now’s the perfect time to check early voting and voter registration deadlines in your state or county. This November, let’s use our votes to uplift and protect our communities at every level—local, state, and federal. Your voice matters, and together we can make a difference!
