When we vote 🗳, we exercise our right as an American citizen 🇺🇸. We make an impact on the laws created for our society and we contribute to change. That’s really powerful when you think about it.    

If you follow me on Instagram or TikTok, you know how passionate I am about voting and empowering others to use their voice. And being a woman, I don’t take for granted the fact that so many women before us risked their lives so we can have the right to vote. So, I plan to exercise that right in full force with the upcoming election this fall.

“The only place on Earth people are equal is the ballet box.”

Leading up to the election, I’ve been particularly moved by brands who have spoken up about the cultural issues and the importance of voting. Michael Stars created a collection with Gloria Steinem to inspire conversation and voter registration. Clare Vivier designed a capsule with When We All Vote, an organization dedicated to increasing participation in U.S. elections and closing the race & age voting gap. 

We’ve all been given the gift of freedom of speech and that’s why it’s so important to vote. You can vote for the representatives who share your views.

HOW TO REGISTER TO VOTE ☑️

If you are registered to vote, AMAZING. If not, check Vote.org for deadlines to register in your state.  
 
It’s also easy to register on Iamavoter.com, an organization that believes our democracy works best when we all participate. The site also sends reminders for when you should hit the polls for local, state, and national elections.
