National Voter Registration Day 9/22/20

 

Tuesday is the National Voter Registration Day: 

Are you Registered?

If yes have you double-checked recently?

If no register to vote now.

Personally, I started to follow this election much earlier than in past years and understand it might feel like it has been going on forever, but no matter how tired of it all you might be, registered to vote, please. This is an election that will impact everyone in this country no matter if you know it or not. 

This election is about everything including:

• Leadership around COVID as we sadly mark the 200,000th US death
• Responding to Global Climate Change so we are not a nation on literal fire (Thoughts and Prayers for the West Coast). 
• Women having control over their own bodies and having access to needed care (Such as birth control)
• Honoring soldiers and vets
• Honoring the Human Dignity of ALL
• Creating community based solutions to prevent our systems and institutions from the way too prevalent murdering of those who are part of the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities as well as those who are facing mental health crises while keeping us ALL safe.
• Protecting the post office

I could go on and on about all the important issues that are up for a vote this year. But in summary, these issues affect everyone from those who are in rural areas to those in urban areas, from seniors to infants, from the heartland to the coasts (Or put another way from sea to shining sea). This is an important election so please register to vote and then vote this election cycle by whatever methods are available to you.
