This is it. The last push.
We’ve entered the final sprint toward Election Day, and the stakes have never been higher. |
Dispatch from the Battleground |
Vote for Equality, the political arm of the Feminist Majority, is out in full force in 8 battleground states and key House districts. Over 208 Vote for Equality Campus Organizers and Coordinators, backed by over 641 volunteers, are working day and night on 47 strategically located campuses across key swing states. They are reaching, educating, and motivating a women’s campus enrollment of 946,000 to vote.
And we need them in the field. The energy and urgency is real and needed now more than ever. Trump’s words—threats, really—are sharper, meaner and more dangerous than ever, “I’ll protect women whether they like it or not,” wielding his arrogance and disregard for women everywhere.
His recent demand that Liz Cheney should “stand with nine barrels aimed at her” is beyond reprehensible. It’s a line no American candidate has ever crossed. And women across America are repelled by it—loudly, clearly, and, as the classic feminist anthem says, in “numbers too big to ignore.”
The latest NPR/Marist poll numbers from Friday are in. They’re swinging toward Harris in the battleground states of Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania -- The Blue Wall, but all within the margin of error. Trump needs these to have a chance, but as this poll shows, Harris has the edge.
But close isn’t good enough. And every one of us—you, we, everyone -- has an immediate part to play. |
The Mission in Action: Mobilizing Our Front Lines |
Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona, North Carolina, Ohio, Nevada—the map lights up with activity as students rally their peers, sparking conversations that keep the energy high and growing. There’s an urgency in every campus organizer’s step, every volunteer’s voice. They’re out there, living out the words we’ve been shouting all along: Enough is Enough. Vote.
But it’s not just up to those on the campus front lines. This is what we must do. We’re calling on every one of you, on-campus or off, to step up. These are our marching orders: |
- Make Your Plan to Vote – Be prepared. Know your polling place, your ID requirements, and your voting hours. This election is no time for surprises. Go to https://vote.gov/.
-
Mobilize Your Circle – Don’t just vote; rally. Talk to your friends, family, neighbors. They need to know what’s at stake and understand that their voice counts. One conversation could be the difference that tips the scale.
-
Support the Vulnerable – Offer a ride, lend a hand. For elderly neighbors or those with disabilities, your support could be the ticket they need to cast their vote. This is a moment to stand with those who need it most.

Election Day: Stand Ready for the Final Push |
Election Day won’t be easy. Expect voter ID checks, long lines, and perhaps intimidation tactics. Be prepared. Pack water, snacks, and a charger—anything you need to keep going no matter how long it takes.
If you see anything amiss—voter suppression, intimidation, or obstacles of any kind—report it. Don’t let anyone silence your voice or the voices of those around you. Call this Election Hotline for assistance: 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683)
We’re already seeing a massive Gender Gap Tsunami. Young women are mobilized and empowered like never before, joined by allies who understand the stakes. From our teams in NC State to Miami University in Ohio, the energy is electric. Students pose with Kamala signs on Instagram, share stories that weave generations together—organizers uniting grandmothers and daughters, all ready to make history. |
This Is Our Defining Moment. |
This election isn’t just about votes; it’s about the future we’re fighting to protect. With every vote cast, we’re rejecting threats to women’s reproductive rights, our economic rights, gender equality, and justice. We’re casting ballots like our lives depend on it—because they do. |
On the Ground and in the Streets, Every Action Counts. |
The finish line is near, but we need every one of you. Make the call to your friends, knock on doors, offer a ride to the polls. This is it. This election deserves every ounce of our strength, every last drop of energy. Give it everything you have, because this battle deserves all each of us can give. For Victory and Equality, |
Ellie Smeal, President Feminist Majority / Vote For Equality |
Kathy Spillar, Executive Director Feminist Majority / Vote For Equality |

Here are five essential reminders for Election Day. |
-
Expect Voter ID Checks in Certain States: Double-check ID requirements, as they vary by state. If you encounter issues, don’t leave—request a provisional ballot to ensure your vote is recorded. Go to https://vote.gov/.
-
Check Polling Locations and Times: Polling places sometimes change, so confirm your location and hours in advance. Arrive early to avoid potential long lines and ensure your opportunity to vote.
- Exercise Patience: High turnout may mean long lines, but it’s necessary for victory. Prepare to wait if necessary, and bring essentials like water, snacks, and a phone charger.
-
Report Any Voter Suppression or Issues: If you or anyone else experiences intimidation, unusual requests, or any form of barrier to voting, report it immediately to a local election protection hotline or poll monitors, if available. Document any details you can. Call this Election Hotline for assistance: 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683)
-
Take Advantage of Same-Day Registration (if available): In 23 states, you can register and vote on the same day — check to see if you live in one of them. Be sure to bring the necessary documentation if you’re planning to take advantage of this option. You can find your local requirements at https://iwillvote.com/.
