Something to Talk About...Live!

Are You Registered to Vote?

There is still time to register to vote – and verify that you are registered – in all 50 states! Even if you voted in the 2020 presidential election and/or the recent primaries, you should verify that you are still registered and that your registration is up-to-date because how you vote, where you vote, when you’re able to vote, and what you’ll need to cast a ballot may have changed.

Join us this Thursday, September 29 at 4:30 PM ET / 1:30 PM PT for Something to Talk About Live where we will be discussing "The Most Dominant Toxic Election Narratives Online” which appeared in the New York Times by Cecilia Kang. We're excited to welcome PFLAG National staff members Brian Bond, Patrick Cochran, and Diego Sanchez to the conversation! 

Join us this Thursday, September 22 at 4:30 PM ET / 1:30 PM PT on Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, or Twitter.
