IN AMERICA, VOTERS PICK OUR LEADERS, AND WE DECIDE OUR FUTURE

This administration wants to keep us from voting so they can control our elections and seize more authoritarian power. They’re doing everything they can to make us feel isolated and powerless. We refuse to accept this.

We will decide our future, choose our leaders, and ensure the will of the people prevails.

Hands Off Our Vote.

Thereʻs safety and power in numbers. The more people that vote, the safer it feels to vote, and the harder it is to deny the election results. So get registered, save your election dates, vote early (if permitted in your state), and make sure to bring everyone you know to the polls.

GET EVERYONE
