September Newsline: Reflections & Highlights from the Month!
Hi Friend ,
Last week, we celebrated National Voter Registration Day, a reminder of how powerful our vote truly is. Since the beginning of this country, there have been efforts to silence our voices, but that only proves how much they fear the impact we make when we show up for what we believe in.
Our voices need to be heard—on the streets, at the polls, and anywhere decisions are made. So, are you ready to vote? Have you
checked your registration, learned who’s on your ballot, and found your polling location? You can find everything you need to be election-ready at9to5.org/govote.
