March toward Transparency: LACRA Next Steps Town Hal
First time voter
Just three weeks left to register to vote.
YOU may be registered, but are your friends, family, neighbors?
Not everyone knows they need to register beforehand.
The deadline in PA is October 19.
TODAY: think of three people you know who might need help getting registered and give them a call (people who have moved? recently become citizens? turned 18?)

You gotta play to have a say
You gotta play if you want a say. Register to vote and give yourself a voice. In PA, you need to register at least two weeks before the November 3 election. If you've moved or changed your name you need to update your reegistration.
You can register online (or check and correct your registration).

Give the bills a vote
Thank you to all who have helped present resolutions to local officials, who have gathered petition signatures or met with legislators.
Our legislative leaders say none of that matters.
Commitee chairs decide what bills get a vote.
Leaders can help move bills forward or block them completely.
PA voters have expressed overwhelming support for an independent citizens redistricting commission.
Join the June 9 Day of Action and say "Give the bills a vote!"

Getting out to vote is hard. Right?
And the system is not perfect.
But it won't get better unless you get out and vote.

Why Vote?
Why should we vote?
Because policy determines the details of our lives: tuition rates, property tax, minimum wage, quality of air and water, school programs, how quickly potholes are fixed.
Leadership decides policy and without good leadership the policy we support will not be enacted or funded.
So make a plan to vote.

Make it a legacy
It's National Voter Registration Day!
Check out this winning video from our 2018 High School video contest and remember: women spent decades fighting for the right to vote.
We are still underrepresented in our state legislature, in Congress and in statewide offices.
Speak up and be heard, and help LWVPA make voting a legacy for all women.
Join us: https://www.palwv.org/join/
Be sure you're registered to vote: https://votespa.com/Register-to-Vote

Your voice your vote
Democracy works best when we ALL make our voices heard.
Check that your voter registration is up to date.
And remember: you can only vote where you're registered.
If you're are away at school, make sure you're registered where you are, or request an absentee ballot. https://votespa.com
Every vote matters
Do elections matter?
Think about the policies that rule our lives.
Check where candidates stand on these policies: start with www.vote411.org, then check candidates' web pages.
Then get out there and vote!
