John,
Why does voting matter to you?
This is a question we would love for you, an IRC supporter, to answer as we get closer to the election.
For refugees like Maha, voting represents hope.
Maha — an Iraqi refugee and new U.S. citizen — is looking forward to exercising her civic duty for the very first time during the 2020 presidential election.
"Voting is a chance for everyone to share their voice with others to improve things," she says. After fleeing Iraq, Maha was resettled by the IRC in New York. She now works as a Quranic and Arabic teacher.
As an IRC supporter, we know you care about refugees like Maha. We also know that you believe in making a difference around the world.
Will you take a moment to tell us why you're voting? We'll be sharing a few responses in an upcoming email to inspire others.
With gratitude,
Andrea Kost
Senior Officer of Digital Stewardship
International Rescue Committee
