Here we are in the countdown to November 5th and the most important election of our lifetimes. It’s critical that we all vote for candidates who are committed to protecting our rights to bodily autonomy, racial justice, voting access, and a livable planet and I could go on but you get the point.
Below you’ll find some resources that I think are especially good. They will help you get the information you need to make informed decisions. If you’ve already voted please talk with those you know who are on the fence about voting and use these resources to help make voting as easy as possible for them.
Be sure to vote all the way down the ballot, those local races have more impact than we often realize from things like what is taught in our schools to whether or not books are banned.
Please share this information far and wide. If we vote we win, if we don’t vote we may never have the opportunity to do so again.
