Dear Friend,

🎉🎉🎉Today is National Voter Registration Day, an important day to celebrate
democracy by taking a few moments to register to vote or to check your
voter registration!!🎉🎉🎉

[ [link removed] ]You can register to vote -- or double check your voter registration
status -- by using MomsRising’s Voter Registration page. And doing it
right now ensures you make the voter registration deadline^1 [ [link removed] ]in your
state!

Each and every vote you cast is important and is needed. Making sure our
democracy delivers on freedom and justice for everyone depends on as many
eligible voters as possible voting! This means participating in elections
big and small, from electing your local school board members all the way
up to electing the President of the United States.

[ [link removed] ]When we’re all voters, we all win.

Speaking of which, elections are happening all the time; so there are lots
of opportunities for us to be voters. In fact, elections happen every year
in different states for different levels of government. So you may not
need to wait for 2020 to exercise your privilege to vote! (Go ahead and
Google "Elections - Secretary of (Your) State" to find out about upcoming
elections in your area. Go ahead, it’s fun! 😄)

[ [link removed] ]Don’t wait for 2020 to register to vote -- or to double check your
voter registration. Voter purges are a recurrent problem in U.S. elections
so now is the time to double check that you’re still registered to vote.
This is important, because there have been many reports of people who
voted for years with no problem, who were suddenly prevented from casting
their ballot because they had been removed from the voter rolls without
their knowledge.^2 Don’t take that chance!

[ [link removed] ]Celebrate National Voter Registration Day by making sure you are a
voter in good standing. Register to vote -- or double check your voter
registration status -- now, which guarantees you make the voter
registration deadline^3 [ [link removed] ]in your state!

And you can have extra fun and impact by involving your kids! Have them
sit with you as you check your voting status -- and make a plan to bring
your kids to vote with you in the future too. We can be voters, AND raise
voters! This has a big impact: Research indicates that lifelong voting
habits are formed in childhood and adolescence, so showing your kids that
you are a voter helps to raise democracy.^4 You can start right away by
having them help you register to vote or check your voter registration
with this link!
