4 Reasons to Register to Vote in the Upcoming Election

Ballot Box Register to Vote in Upcoming Election

As we approach the upcoming elections, we want to remind you that your vote is your voice—and now, more than ever, it's crucial to make it heard.    

Everyone deserves the right to make informed decisions about their bodies and their futures, and the decisions made at the ballot box directly impact our ability to access essential sexual and reproductive healthcare services. 

Here are a few reasons why your vote matters:  

Protecting Reproductive Rights  

Access to safe and legal abortion, contraception, gender-affirming care and other reproductive health services is on the line. Your vote helps elect leaders who will safeguard these vital rights. 

Funding for Health Services  

Local and state elections can determine funding for health clinics that provide affordable care. Every vote helps keep those doors open.  

Comprehensive Sex Ed 

Your vote can help promote policies that ensure comprehensive sex education is taught in schools, empowering the next generation to make safe and healthy decisions.  

Affordable Healthcare 

Your vote impacts healthcare policy, including the expansion of Medicaid and other programs that support low-income individuals seeking reproductive health services.  

Together, we can create a future where every person has the right to make choices about their health and their bodies and access to the care they need.  

Now is the time to take action. Register to vote or check your registration status today! The deadline is approaching fast, so don’t wait!
