Vote Your Heart Out
RECEIVED Tue., Oct. 8, 2024
Dear Editor,
We’re running down the clock until the 2024 election – in some states, early voting has already started! When Election Day arrives, will you be ready to vote?
Right now is the right time to check the basics – make sure your voter registration is up to date so you don’t run into any hurdles. And do your research – What issues are you passionate about? What matters to you, your family, and your community?
When I complete my ballot this year, I’ll be voting in favor of US foreign assistance. For a mere fraction of our budget – less than 1%! – foreign assistance helps save millions of lives and improve livelihoods abroad while also protecting us right here in Texas from the spread of preventable diseases. US foreign assistance is a testament to American values abroad – I’ll be voting to maintain this powerful legacy of leadership.
As a volunteer activist with The ONE Campaign, I believe our voice is our power. However - and for whomever - you choose to use your voice in November, the most important thing is that you use it!
The second most important thing is that you recognize your power doesn’t end after Election Day. An election is a big moment for advocacy – but in the end it’s just one moment of many that help us create the change we want to see. When your elected officials take office in January, keep in touch. Make sure they know what their constituents want and encourage them to stick to their promises.
Happy voting, Texas!
