We’ve been organizing, mobilizing, and rallying for two years for this very moment, and it’s officially time to take back our country
This week, we’re highlighting everything you need to know to cast your ballot on or before Election Day. From early voting information to critical deadlines and voter protection opportunities, this is your one-stop shop to ensure you and your community successfully make your voices heard on November 3.
Thank you for every second volunteered, every dollar donated, and for standing with us in this fight. Let’s achieve the blue wave together.
