Dear John, There are only 14 days left until Election Day where voters will have the power to determine whether LGBTQ+ people and their loved ones will have the freedom to learn, thrive, and be themselves. With so much at stake, it is critical that we have everything we need to cast our ballot with love this election. Join us THIS WEEK for our second Love Votes Week of Action! This week focuses on crafting your voting plan, helping your friends and family do the same, and learning strategies to get out the vote. Here are all the ways you can participate. Do as much or as little as you can. Every bit counts! Make your voting plan and pledge to vote: Creating a plan to vote makes you almost 10% more likely to actually get to the polls. That’s why we’ve created a voter pledge with an easy checklist to help you make that plan to cast your ballot. We hope you’ll take the pledge and make your plan to vote! Share our voting plan checklist: Check out our Love Votes social media toolkit for images you can share including a voting plan checklist and other Love Votes graphics. Help your friends and family make their plan: Use Rally to organize your friends, family, and anyone else in your network to get out and vote! Rally lets you canvass your contacts from your couch and have effective conversations to ensure everyone in your network has the resources they need to vote. We hope you’ll watch this training video and start using Rally to get your friends, family, and others in your network to make a plan to vote and then cast their ballots! Learn ways that YOU can help get out the vote: Join us for our October edition of PFLAG Academy Online, PFLAG Votes 2024: Be A PFLAG Voter and Mobilize Others to do the Same. During this session, we’ll discuss how to make a plan to vote, review strategies to motivate others to cast their ballots, and take part in direct action to ensure our friends and family do their civic duty in 2024! Register here! It is going to take all of us to get out the vote this November. Take action with us this week! |
