If you’re in the USA, I hope you’re voting today (if you didn’t already by an absentee ballot or early voting)!!!! People have fought hard, starved, and died to ensure that more than just white men can have this right, so use it!

Here’s just one reason why I think it’s important to vote — because we need people in office who understand our issues and care about them and will act. A perfect example of this was when I joined a group of people organized by Collective Action for Safe Spaces to testify about sexual harassment on the Metro system in Washington, DC, earlier this year. The all male Metro leaders said sexual harassment wasn’t a problem. But the DC City Council chair was a woman, Muriel Bowser, and she said, “As a woman, I feel differently” and told them to do something!! And they did. Without her, the fight would have been much harder.

VOTE!!
