John,

Election Day is coming up fast, and the stakes this year – especially for children – have never been higher.

Millions of the world's children are struggling to survive hardships from extreme poverty to the violence of war – all because of circumstances beyond their control. With the help of supporters like you, Save the Children provides critical resources like food and clean water, emotional support and educational programming to children in urgent need. But it's critical to elect leaders at every level of government who will work alongside us to create brighter futures for children.

That's why we need to ensure that everyone who cares about issues affecting children has their voice heard in November. And it starts with making sure you are registered to vote.

Today, September 22, is National Voter Registration Day. Save the Children is joining thousands of other organizations throughout the country to make sure we get as many eligible voters as possible to register so they can vote in November.

If you are not already registered – or aren’t sure if you’re registered – please take a minute to register to vote through this online voter registration tool.

It only takes a moment, and it’s the first step in making sure your voice gets heard in November.

Thanks for being a voice for kids!

Save the Children
