🍩 Seriously, get some donuts or candy & go to your nearest student union of a community college, or university. Walk around and ask them if they’ve voted. If they haven’t, find out why and help them. Most kids I’ve talked to who haven’t voted WANT to vote but feel overwhelmed. (Last night, I spoke with a 19 year old hotel reception clerk - he said he wanted to vote, but he wasn't sure how to do it and that his family are Trumpers so he didn't want to ask them. I gave him www.iwillvote.com and my number for any questions about voting.) On Wednesday, I'mm going back to UNR to do the above!
📲 Make sure your kids (and their friends) have their ballots and will vote! And even if they are in a blue state, it's so important for young people to vote so they have political power and don't have 70+ yr old white conservative voters deciding their futures.
Thank you as always Jessica for the inspiration!
Spent my day poll watching at Univ of NV Reno and learned a few things. Here’s how YOU can help turn out #GenZ Voters:
🗳 Remind them that if they did not get their mail in ballot, they may be able to same day register & vote at the polls. (22 states and Washington, D.C. do this - https://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/same-day-registration.aspx.) Need proof of res/ID. (Ck www.iwillvote.com for state reqs/reg.)
