Happy first day of National Disability Voting Rights Week! Today’s action item is registering to vote or checking to make sure you are registered at your current address. Then, join us in making a pledge to vote. Did you know that if people with disabilities voted at the same rate as people without disabilities we’d have 2 million more voters? Let’s close that turnout gap! Register today at bit.ly/m/REV-UP then send the link to 5 friends.
