John,
Higher pay. Racial justice. Better healthcare. Paid sick leave. Hazard pay. Reliable hours. Standing up to greedy bosses. Stopping police violence…. There are more reasons to vote than I can possibly list, but these are the reasons I voted early.
I'm sick and tired of the people in power siding with corporations like McDonald's instead of workers like us. I voted to elect leaders who have a plan to help me build a better future for myself and my family.
If you haven't voted: PLEASE GO VOTE TODAY.
Voting in person is safe and effective. Find where to vote and when polls close, then make a plan for how you'll get there. Many polling places have changed due to covid, so please double check before heading to vote!
If you've already voted, GET YOUR PEOPLE TO VOTE.
Text your friends, call your aunt, DM your coworkers… do whatever you can to make sure that everyone in your life who can vote is voting today. Tell them why you're voting. You can even copy this line below and text it to them RIGHT NOW:
I already voted for higher pay, for healthcare, and my family. Did you vote yet?
Look, I haven't always voted. And I see now why I should have been a voter all along. Living wages are on the ballot. Racial justice is on the ballot. Our future is on the ballot.
We've shown it strike after strike. When we come together, WE WIN. Let's go.
