Below is the first-hand experience of Abbey, who canvassed today. It shows the power and importance of canvassing and talking to people about voting.
I had a bit of a reality check today while canvassing.
Being so plugged into politics every single day, it’s easy to take for granted that everyone knows when an election is coming up. But today, I talked to multiple people who genuinely had no idea an election was right around the corner.
It was a huge reminder that life gets busy, noise gets filtered out, and standard news doesn't reach everyone. We can’t assume people in our circles know what’s on the calendar or how to prepare!
Take five minutes today to reach out to a few friends, family members, or neighbors:
- Help them check their voter registration on BallotReady
- Talk through a plan to vote (make sure they know where, when, and how!).
-Encourage them to get it done early and in person.
Democracy isn't just about showing up at the ballot box. It's about helping the people around us get there too.
Who are you reaching out to today? 🗳️✨
