It’s election season. Are you registered to vote?
Hope is a muscle. And there’s hope in voting—in taking direct action to create the community you want to live and work in, where you want to put down roots and curate a life full of joy. By voting, you are making this muscle stronger and more formidable. While much attention is on the presidential race, Nebraska voters have the power to impact many decisions this General Election with several candidates and issues on the ballot locally.
YOU have the power to determine who makes the laws in Nebraska, who sets the policies for our schools and who shapes the future of our communities. With several ballot initiatives in play, it’s also your chance to engage in direct democracy on issues such as your right to have control over your own body, your ability to earn and use paid sick leave, and a chance to build on Nebraska’s long history of strong support for public schools.
Are you ready to vote like your rights depend on it? Because they do!
