EVERY VOTE MATTERS |
|
Get out to vote; Get out the vote |
|
With the midterm elections right around the corner, and voter suppression, misinformation, and threats to our democracy more prevalent than ever, we at Liz & Ellie Local want to encourage each and every one of you not only to VOTE ON NOVEMBER 8TH, but also to do what you can to encourage all citizens to make their voices heard. Our preferred method is letters and postcards—it's one of the most effective things you can do to increase election turnout, and you can do it right from home. Non-partisan organizations we support include: Many campaigns are asking for letters and postcards to be mailed on OCTOBER 29, twelve days from now. That's plenty of time for you to join in! It feels great to take action. |
