Your Voice, Your Vote

Tile that says "Your Vote Your Voice"

As someone who used to do voting rights work, I know the history of what it took to get ALL Americans the right to vote. My first year in law school I was even present in person as the Supreme Court of the United States - with Justice Thurgood Marshall still on the bench - announced an important Voting Rights Act decision. 

No matter where you are, or who you want to vote for, the right to vote is what this country is founded upon. 

So register to vote, or check your status if you haven't recently. Here's a good resource to help you: https://vote.gov/register/

Deadlines are approaching - and early voting is started so I'm very excited to do that! - and exercise this important right you have as an American. 

“Someone struggled for your right to vote. Use it.” Susan B. Anthony

“The vote is precious. It is the most powerful non-violent tool we have in a democratic society, and we must use it.” John Lewis
