John —
Today is National Voter Registration Day and there are an estimated 8.3 million eligible new voters who have turned 18 since the 2020 general election.
With so much at stake for LGBTQ+ youth, the It Gets Better Project is collaborating with organizations including Rock the Vote, DoSomething, and GLSEN on a new video series to educate young voters in advance of the midterm elections.
#ElectionSzn, which runs on TikTok, Instagram and itgetsbetter.org now through Election Day 2022 (November 8), is a collection of videos aimed at encouraging eligible young LGBTQ+ people to register to vote, providing access to educational opportunities, and inspiring those who aren’t to get involved.
The series is also accompanied by an effort to register new voters, and through a partnership with Rock the Vote, eligible voters can now register at itgetsbetter.org.
If you or someone you know is of voting age or if you care about queer kids and want to make sure your voice is heard, register to vote today.
Show LGBTQ+ youth their voice and opinions matter. Watch these videos, share them with other people, and join us in making a difference.
Thank you for helping us continue to make it better.
