Election day is coming up on Tuesday, Nov. 6 and I’m writing to encourage everyone to vote this year. I’m working with theSkimm on its No Excuses campaign to help turn out 100,000 female millennials to vote in the midterm election.
More female millennials are unhappy with the direction of the country (73 percent) than any other demographic, yet only 46 percent say they will vote, which is lower any other voting block.
Voting is one of the easiest way to make your voice heard. It might take little longer than sharing a post of Facebook, but it helps determine who represents you in your government, not just what your friends see on their newsfeed. Everyone has an issue, or issues, that are important to them and whether it is healthcare or immigration, think about how much time that issue is worth to you.
Isn’t it worth taking just a half hour or so out of your day on Nov. 6 to go vote?
