Get out the vote – yours and others
Voting is an important way for citizens to make their voices heard and help shape the future of our country. But civic engagement should not stop at casting our own ballots. Each of us can play a role in motivating others to vote as well.
An effective way to do this is by sending postcards to registered voters who don’t always participate in elections. An easy way to do this is by using Activate America.
The Activate America website provides free-of-charge lists of names and addresses of prospective voters to send post cards to, and a short script to write on the postcards that encourages the receiver to vote for candidates that will put the people of our country first, not corporations and the wealthy.
We all benefit when more citizens take part in the democratic process. This November, let us encourage one another to stay informed, participate respectfully and make voting a shared civic responsibility. Democracy works best when everyone has a chance to be heard.
