Our Vote is our Voice! Show up to the Polls tomorrow for #ElectionDay

Every American deserves the opportunity to cast their vote in a safe, accessible and secure way. In 2020, politicians tried to throw out valid votes cast by citizens based on what they look like and where they live and this desperate attempt to hold on to power for their own gain was rejected firmly by the courts. Voting absentee allows Americans -- including your friends, your neighbors, parents with young children, members of our military, our first responders, seniors, people with disabilities, people facing health crises and overseas citizens -- to take part in our democracy. We must ensure that all eligible citizens can continue to make their voices heard in our elections and we cannot let politicians pick and choose whose vote gets counted. Americans agree that WE pick our leaders. And that our democracy is strongest when it includes us all.

To our NCJW Supporters and Advocates who celebrate. Merry Christmas from NCJW Chicago North Shore.
