John,

I vote. Because ______________.

How would you fill in the blank? Today, August 26, 2020, marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote in the United States. It's a great day -- and an important year -- to think about what inspires you to exercise your right to vote.

Take a moment to watch the video below celebrating today's milestone, then share your reasons for heading to the polls this year.

Few rights are more fundamental to democracy than the right to vote. Today, we honor not only the passage of the 19th Amendment, but also the work to ensure that voting rights are protected for all Americans, regardless of gender and race.

Join us by sharing your own reasons for voting today:
