Every election season, I take my children with me to the polls. I show them how the process works and tell them who I’m supporting and why. I explain how people before them made great sacrifices so that we could have the right to vote.
For generations, women and people of color in this country were denied a voice. And still today, there are some elected officials who try to stop us from exercising our right.
I hope my kids – once they turn 18 – never take their right to vote for granted. I hope you won’t either.
At such a critical time in our country, voting is a simple yet powerful way to make your voice heard. It really can make a difference for your children and your community.
For too long in America’s past, entire groups of people were denied a say. This election, let’s all use our voices to write America’s future.
