Today marks National Voter Registration Day—a powerful moment for us to mobilize our communities and ensure that every voice is heard in the upcoming elections. As an organization committed to advocating for health equity and justice, we understand that voting is one of the most impactful ways to drive change in our communities.

Why is Today Important?

National Voter Registration Day is a nationwide effort to get voters registered ahead of the upcoming elections. With so much at stake in our local, state, and national elections, it's crucial that we all take action to ensure our voices—and the voices of those in our communities—are heard.

What Can You Do?

Whether you're checking your registration status, registering for the first time, or helping others get registered, today is your chance to strengthen our democracy. Here's how you can participate:

1. Register to Vote: If you haven't registered yet, there's no better time than today. Visit your local election office, use online resources, or attend a registration event.
2. Check Your Voter Registration Status: Already registered? Make sure your information is up-to-date and correct. Moved recently? Changed your name? Check your status to avoid any surprises on election day.
3. Help Friends and Family: Encourage those around you to check their registration status or register for the first time. Every vote counts, and your encouragement can make a big difference.
4. Share Your Activities on Social Media: Amplify your efforts by sharing your voter registration activities on social media. Use hashtags like #NationalVoterRegistrationDay, #YourVoteYourVoice, and #NMA to inspire others to take action.

Why Voting Matters

Voting is more than just a civic duty—it's a way to influence decisions that affect our lives and communities. From healthcare access to education and environmental justice, the policies shaped by elected officials have direct impacts on our day-to-day lives. By registering and voting, you're advocating for the issues that matter most to you and your community.
