This upcoming election is likely one of the most significant in our recent history. Amidst a global pandemic and a civil rights movement, it’s hard to anticipate what the next few months are going to look like.
Among all that uncertainty, one thing remains true: it is so crucial that everyone exercise their right to vote.
Making your voice heard is the ultimate demonstration of your civic powers in action. Throughout the month of October, Humanified is dedicated to encouraging and advocating for our audience to register for and stay informed about the election.
You’ve seen how participation numbers trend downward each election: just over 51% of the US population participates in presidential elections. Now, with varying mail-in ballot, early voting, and in-person voting restrictions per state, there’s a rising concern that participation is only going to continue to decrease.
Take action now by heading to vote.org and checking your voter registration. If you’re not already registered: what’s stopping you? Text your friends, family members, that random former acquaintance whose number you still have…just reach out and make sure that your circle is doing the same.
Every person is capable of making a difference. Every voice should be heard. Every vote counts.
