Take Action

Sign the Petition

Young people are the voices our democracy needs. Add your name and demand that elected officials support giving 16- and 17-year-olds the right to vote.

Pledge to Vote

Voting during midterm elections is a way to make positive changes in your local community. Make a pledge to vote for change this year.

Volunteer for Election Protection

There’s a role for everyone — whether it’s helping voters from home, assisting voters safely in person, or tracking online disinformation.
