John,

Have you ever given someone in your family a ride to their polling location? Watched a neighbor’s kids while they were voting? Or maybe you’ve helped a disabled loved one fill out their ballot?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, you’ve engaged in a common form of care – supporting a loved one so we can ALL exercise our right to vote.

But don’t just take it from me, take it from all of us who came together for this special #WeCareWeVote video campaign.

There are millions of caregivers and care recipients across the country – but these voters may be unable to participate in our democracy due to our lack of care infrastructure. Some disabled people are not able to vote in-person due to inaccessible polling locations. And a lack of affordable and high-quality childcare or in-community disability supports can often prevent family caregivers from voting as well.

We can all make a difference by making a plan to ensure we – as well as our aging and disabled loved ones – are all prepared to exercise our right to vote. Here’s what you can do, John.

* Give aging adults and disabled voters rides to the polls on Election Day.
* Provide folding chairs to voters in line who can’t stand for long periods of time.
* Assist care recipients with limited fine motor skills in filling out ballots.
* Offer care support so family caregivers can go to their polling locations.
* Encourage others to do the same by sharing this special #WeCareWeVote message.

Don’t hesitate – take one minute to share this video with your friends and family [[link removed]] . Let’s make sure to celebrate this important form of care!
