“Democracy is not a spectator sport.”

John,

This week is National Voter Registration Week. We’re on a mission to register voters like you who will bring children’s voices to the polls this election season.

The stakes are incredibly high in this election—from the race for the White House all the way down to local elections in your community. The people elected in November will make decisions that impact children’s lives for years to come. That’s why America’s children need you to make a plan to vote on behalf of children.

Our 2020 voter guides explain why voting matters at every level of government, highlight the children’s issues that are at stake in this election, and help you make a plan to vote smartly and safely. Plus, we’re sharing a special message from former First Lady Michelle Obama just for voters like you!

Children can’t vote, but they have so much at stake in this election. When you cast your vote, you can hold officials at every level accountable for standing up for America’s children and ensuring they have what they need to thrive.

P.S. Thank you for joining the chorus of advocates lifting up the voices of children and ensuring they are a priority this November. Share this link with 5 friends or loved ones today to make sure they’re registered to vote at weall.vote/cdf.
