Primary elections are coming up, New York! Several local offices across the state are up for election—and these are positions that can make a huge difference in the day-to-day lives of LGBTQ people, such as mayors, judges, and more.

If you want to learn more about what makes these elections so important to the strength and safety of our communities, and help mobilize other voters in our state, join our next RiseOut Action Team meeting on Thursday, May 20. But regardless, make sure to remember these important dates:

• May 28 - Voter registration deadline
• June 12-20 - Early voting period
• June 22 - Primary election day! 

You can keep track of all relevant information about the upcoming elections at gaycenter.org/vote.

Thanks for all you do,
