You've made the first move.
Now keep moving voting rights forward for people like Eleanor |
Advocate, when I hear stories like Eleanor's*, where an engaged citizen is denied her constitutional right to vote, frankly, I'm angry. I know you feel the same, so I hope you're able to rush your support. The election is just a few weeks away.
In 71 years, Eleanor has never missed an election. Nineteen years ago, after her knee replacement, standing in line at the polls became too painful — so she started voting by mail. She's voted by mail in every election since without a hitch.
This year's primary election was different. Eleanor never received her ballot. As the deadline loomed, she called her local elections board... and her call went straight to voicemail. This went on for three weeks — she'd call, leave a message, and never hear back. Frustrated and confused, 89-year-old Eleanor feared she might have to vote in person... during a global pandemic.
"It probably would have been a challenge, and I wouldn't feel my best... but I still would have done it," she says. Voting is that important.
Eleanor remembers seeing white people going to the polls while Black people were denied their right to vote. She knows how precious voting is... and what's at stake.
Here's the thing: Eleanor's story is not a one off. So many people will be forced to choose between their health and their vote if we don't act NOW. |
