John,

The right to vote underpins every other right we have. This year, as we are confronting four crises—the pandemic, the recession, systemic racism and, now, the worst wildfires ever—exercising our right to vote has never been more important.

But in order to vote, whether you choose to vote by mail or in person, early or on Nov. 3, you must be registered. And while registering to vote should be easy, states like Georgia, Wisconsin and others are purging thousands of voters from their voting rolls.

We want to make sure your voter status is active. Take three minutes and click here to confirm your voter registration status and verify that all of your information is up-to-date.

This election is not just about defeating Donald Trump. It’s about fighting for a fairer, more just and more equitable country for all. It is our opportunity to build a strong, inclusive economy. It’s our chance to elect lawmakers who will put people over profits, science over fiction, and duty before themselves.

It’s about electing real leadership to ensure we curb the spread of COVID-19, make healthcare a right and address our country’s other crises. With this election, we can make sure schools and hospitals have the resources they need to serve our communities. We can invest in states and localities to provide vital services and keep public employees on the job. We can choose lawmakers, like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, who put working families first and will assist people who are struggling.

But we can’t accomplish any of that if we can’t vote. And with recent voter roll purges, we want to make sure you weren’t accidentally kicked off the list. Click here to confirm your voter registration status and to make a plan to vote in this election.

In unity,
Randi Weingarten
AFT president
