BTRTN Volunteer Idea with Link: As Voting Begins, Don't Forget Those Propositions!

Born To Run The Numbers provides its latest in its “We’re Not Going Back. What Can WE Do?” series, in which BTRTN provides concrete ideas and links that show how anyone and everyone can volunteer and go to work now to help elect Kamala Harris and down ballot Democrats.

Excerpts: " I so appreciate suggestions from readers and a critical one is to remind voters not to overlook those propositions! Across the nation there are 160 — yes, 160! — statewide ballot initiatives on the docket on Election Day. These include abortion initiatives in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New York, Nevada and South Dakota as well as propositions on minimum wages, ranked choice voting, and the definition of marriage to name just a few. You can find the ballots in your state at https://ballotpedia.org/2024_ballot_measures#By_state. After you’ve found the initiatives in your own state, if you have time, I’d recommend that you scan the ballots in other states as it’s quite the education about our country.

"And folks, we’re A MONTH AWAY. Experts say this election will be decided one vote at a time. That’s where we all come in. We need to GET OUT THE VOTE so keep the pedal to the metal with those postcards and calls. We also need to FIGHT VOTER SUPPRESSION. Consider joining VoteRiders on October 10 at 7PM for a remote texting event to support voters in Ohio and Pennsylvania at risk of being disenfranchised: sign up https://www.mobilize.us/voteriders/event/673359/. Or volunteer to protect voting rights with Fair Fight https://www.fairfight.com/lfgv."
