Dwain Northey (Gen X)

Dear Friend,

I know it’s an off year, but that doesn’t mean it’s an off moment for democracy. Across this great country, there are elections taking place that will shape our communities, schools, neighborhoods, and futures. Every vote—your vote—matters more than you might think.

I’m not here to tell you how to vote. That’s your choice, your right, your voice. I’m just here to remind you to use it. Because when you show up, you’re doing more than filling in a bubble or pressing a button—you’re standing up for the idea that we all have a say in the direction of our country.

So check your local election dates, find your polling place, and make a plan. Bring a friend if you can. Let your voice be heard loud and clear.

Our democracy only works when we all take part.

With encouragement,
