John,

In times like these, when our country faces big challenges, one truth remains constant: real change happens when we come together and make our voices heard. That's why we're reaching with an important message about preparing for the upcoming election.

Every election is a chance to shape the future we dream of — whether it's advancing climate solutions, creating good jobs, or building stronger communities. But to make that difference, we need to be prepared.

Here's a simple checklist to make sure your voice is heard:

✅ Check Your Registration Now

• Even if you voted before, take a moment to verify your registration is current
• If you need to register or update your information, visit vote.org

✅ Make Your Voting Plan

• Decide if you'll vote early, by mail, or on Election Day (November 5th) 
• Look up your polling location or request a mail-in ballot
• Mark important deadlines on your calendar
• Find a voting buddy to go with you

✅ Know What's on Your Ballot

• Research the candidates and issues that will appear on your ballot
• Remember: local and state elections are just as important as national ones
• Use trusted sources like vote411.org to learn about what's at stake

We know that not everyone has the ability to vote — whether because of disenfranchisement laws or other barriers. In fact, over 4.4 million Americans are currently prohibited from voting across 25 states. If you're able to vote, we encourage you to exercise this fundamental right on behalf of those who cannot.

Visit vote.org today to check your registration status and make your voting plan. It only takes a few minutes.
