Our votes are powerful.
Voting is an important way to influence government policies that affect our communities. Voting is not the only way to be heard — but it is an important place to start.
Shape your community, shape your health.
The people we vote for make decisions that affect our families and our neighborhoods. Like whether to open a clinic nearby or a grocery store with affordable healthy food. Neighborhoods where more people vote often get more public resources.
You don’t have to be an expert on politics to vote.
Need help deciding how to vote? Voter guides like TurboVote list the candidates and their positions. You can also talk with family and friends and find out what they know. Voting is important, but it does not have to be hard.
This is your community.
When you vote, you help your neighborhood, whether you are new or have lived there all your life. By voting in every election, you have the power to hold leaders accountable for your community’s needs.
