One last reminder. Tomorrow, October 9th, is the deadline to register to vote in New York State. With so much hanging in the balance for our community in this election, we want to make sure your voice is heard.
If you want to register, you can do so online by visiting weact.org/vote.
Already registered? Make sure. Don't take a chance, only to learn that your name has been purged from the list. Confirm that you are registered by visiting weact.org/vote.
Do it today. Don't wait for tomorrow's deadline. Your internet could go down. The registration site could crash (as it did in Florida). Don't take a chance. Visit weact.org/vote right now and make sure your voice is heard in this election!
