Are You Registered to Vote?

Intimidation via high pressured fire hose: Violent Techniques used on Peaceful Protesters in the 1960's. Not very long ago, actions such as these were sanctioned by the United States Government

As news of voter suppression efforts continue to spread, it is becoming increasingly important to ensure that you do not find yourself locked out of the process.

If you haven’t already, I encourage you to register to vote.

Check out Can I Vote .org to get registered, or check your voter status by state. You can also use the resource to learn about any forms of identification that you may be required to present at the polls.

I found this resource via a post from my social justice blogging colleague Rachel West, MSW, LMSW over at her blog The Political Social Worker

I’ll pass along more resources or educational materials as I find them.

If you know of any resources that you would like to share about the upcoming election, voting rights, combating voter suppression, etc you can share them in the comment section below or send them to me using my contact form.

Grace & Peace,

From Aspiring Humanitarian, Relando Thompkins, MSW
