Moms are RISING! Today, less than two weeks before the election, we're
celebrating that moms have already reached out to millions of moms who are
low frequency voters to help get them the information they need to vote --
and we're on track to reach over 10 MILLION LOW FREQUENCY MOM VOTERS to
support them in getting out to vote IF you help by volunteering some time
to help!

Many states are already early voting, so it’s all hands on deck for
everyone to help get out the vote between now and November 3rd.

Here are 5 top ways for you to help get out the vote now:

1. Make your own plan to vote - get your local voting options for how & where to
vote:

Just like on airplanes where we’re urged to put on our own oxygen masks
first, start by finding out what your voting options are and making a plan
to vote that works best for you and your family. After you make your plan,
then mark it on our calendar (and maybe even select a fun voting
celebration snack and find some good music for your voting day!).

[ [link removed] ]Here’s a link where you can get details about where to vote in-person,
find out if your state has early voting and/or dropboxes, get info about
vote-by-mail, and get everything you need to make your plan to vote.

2. Phonebank with us!

Sign up for a volunteer shift to help call out the vote. We have phone
banks going now through Election Day to help remind low frequency mom
voters to vote -- and to help get voters information about the early
voting options, drop box locations, or where to vote in-person. It’s going
to take all of us calling out the vote to fight the voter misinformation
being spread. So thank you in advance!

3. Text out the vote

Research shows that personalized messages delivered in a conversational
manner are one of the most effective ways to mobilize voters – and that’s
exactly what this program does. Plus, we have A LOT of work to do: Only
about 58% of eligible voters turned out to vote in the last presidential
election, which leaves a lot of room for improvement! So our personal
voices are (quite literally) needed to inspire others to vote. We’ll
provide everything you need to make a big impact: A list of people who
don’t regularly vote that you call or text (maybe even in Spanish, if you
know Spanish!), draft language to use, and easy calling and text platforms
to help you get it all done with speed. Plus, you can make your calls
and/or send your texts anytime that's convenient from the comfort of your
home or from whatever location works for you.

free to share this link with friends too).

4. Help 3 people make a plan to vote & find out where to vote locally

Reach out to at least 3 people to help them get the info they need to
vote! You can do this by texting 3 (or more!) people, posting on social
media, emailing, or other. Here’s sample content that you can cut & paste
if you want:

→ Hey, the election season is here. Some states are already early voting!
Time flies. I have a great resource to share in case you need to find out
where you can vote in-person on Nov. 3rd, as well as early voting,
dropbox, and vote-by-mail options if your state has those. Just go here
for all the info, which is customized for you after you fill out the form:

(After you make your plan to vote, feel free to pass on this resource to 3
other people. Let’s make sure everyone who wants to vote, can vote!)

Happy voting! Thanks! ←

5. Be a Voter, Raise a Voter - Make voting a fun family activity!

Make voting a fun family activity, create a mini-party on zoom to fill out
your ballots with friends and family, get together in a socially distanced
way with masks and your ballots, or other. You can be a voter and raise a
future voter by involving kids!

We pulled together some fun activities for you to introduce kids to the
idea of voting and to show them that voting is fun AND important -- and
these activities serve the dual purpose of also keeping kids occupied
while you fill out your ballot. Just pick the activity that works best for
the ages and interests of the children or young people in your life and
get voting. For instance, you can make voting-themed crafts, create a
voting-related story, or hold a mock election and let the kids vote. If
the kids are older, you can talk over snacks about the issues that matter
most to them, ask if they have thoughts on the candidates or issues being
discussed in the election season, and answer (or look up together!) any
questions they might have.

them happen.
