Register People to Vote: The Time is Now
When I start to fall into the depths of despair about the United States, I try to shift my attention to action. What can I do to make a difference? (I made a long list here.) Therefore, right now I’m thinking about right now is how to register people to vote.
So who do you know that needs to register to vote?
Most states have a deadline around October to register to vote. You can find exact details for each state here.
Therefore, I created a simple page at this website that I can share with folks who need to register to vote: https://dosome.click/9UlDQkE
How can I use my circle of influence to get people to register?
- I can post on my school’s communication platform
- Next, I can post on my neighborhood listserv
- I can check with the young people in my family (cousins, etc.) to make sure everyone registers
Do you know anyone who isn’t registered to vote? Let’s register people to vote!
The fate of our country is at stake.
The American cult of the individual denies not just community but the very idea of society. No one owes anything to anyone. All must be prepared to fight for everything: education, shelter, food, medical care. What every prosperous and successful democracy deems to be fundamental rights — universal health care, equal access to quality public education, a social safety net for the weak, elderly, and infirmed — America dismisses as socialist indulgences, as if so many signs of weakness.
Now is the time. Let’s We can do this!
