We know frustrations with our political system run deep, and the reality of our two-party system can make it feel like real change is out of reach. But if you or someone close to you is on the fence about voting, we encourage you to do so.

With abortion access, climate change, press freedoms, and control of Congress on the ballot: this election is too important to sit out, and it’s projected to be very, very close.

Remember: Showing up to the polls is just the start and cannot be the only tool we use in creating the country we want. After Nov. 5, we’ll need to work together to push for the change we want to see and protect the most vulnerable among us. Still, voting is an investment in our collective future, and a means to help shape the policies that impact our communities, planet, and rights.

If you’re not yet registered to vote — there’s still time: 23 states and D.C. have same-day voter registration.

Join our RSVP broadcast channel at the link in our profile to see if your state is one of them and for resources to learn what’s on your ballot, then head to the link in our bio to read our latest election analysis.

I’m From Arizona & Was Forced To Travel Across State Lines For My Abortion

We shouldn’t be having to share these deeply personal and, at times, excruciating stories, but the sad truth is we have to share these stories. And we won't stop sharing these stories until a woman has full bodily autonomy. I don’t want the next generation to still be having to do this.
