  • Day 30. Reform Not Punishment.

    Day 30. Reform Not Punishment.

    The US Justice system is both broken and designed to overly criminalize and incarcerate people of color, the poor, and other marginalized people including those who are gender diverse. Democracy is strongest when it includes everyone therefore the time to demand reform is now. We need to vote to shutdown this system that celebrates capitalism, racism, and heteronormativity and disenfranchises all others. The Vera Institute of Justice is here to teach us how we can engage in reform both through direct action and at the ballot box. Vote for policies that promote equity and inclusion.

Vote to protect these all reproductive healthcare rights.

    Day 20. Ableism is not a Democratic Value.

    Equity and inclusion strengthen our democracy. Whether you are voting by mail, in person or via a drop box, your vote matters and needs to be accessible. Denying accessibility to voting locations is a much less discussed by very real means of voter suppression. If you are disabled or know someone who is, consider evaluating and assessing the access to polling stations in advance to make sure access is available. If you notice something of concern notify your local voter registrar or the ADA.gov. Don’t forget to also vote for policies that benefit everyone.
