Let’s go blue wave!
Vote because you CAN vote!
Vote because you’re a responsible member of the community.
In michigan and some other states, voting is ‘use it or lose it this year.’ In MI: we need ‘Yes’ on Prop 2 (end gerrymandering that keeps elections uncompetitive) and Prop 3 (makes voting more accessible) so voting is easier and more powerful in the future.
Also in just about every state there are down-ballot positions that have a big effect on voting access – secretary of state, board of elections, etc. (E.g. vote Benson for SoS in MI).
Thank you Brittney!
Already did. Hoping North Carolina can get progressive again.
