Why I Vote

I vote because I believe in pursuing what I want. It's a necessary step for setting the vision for my personal life and also is vital to the collective vision of our country. Voting is a giant step in that vision that I hold for my country. I vote because elections have consequences and I want to be a voice in electing that change. I vote so that I can put my values into action and ensure those actions are heard. By not voting, I feel I am giving up my voice, not advocating for my community and the tax dollars I pay to protect that community. Voting is core to our democracy as a nation and I would urge everyone to remember that this is your country too and thus it is your right. I empower you to use your voice to advocate for what you feel is best for this nation. We all deserve to be heard.

Share your reasons for voting and we’ll share them on our social accounts! Let’s raise our voices and make a difference.
