Election Day is today. We’re finally in the home stretch. We’ve come so far together – and I want to take a moment to thank you for inspiring me. You’re reminding me what democracy looks like, and just how amazing it is.
Nearly 9.1 million Californians have already voted. That’s nearly two-thirds of likely voters. That’s almost 3 million more votes cast at this point than in 2016. That includes over 1 million more votes from people of color. We’ve had a 46% increase in the youth vote compared to this same point just four years ago.
We’re seeing this everywhere, not just California. Around the country, voters, especially young voters, are making their voices heard. We’re on the path to have the highest turnout in history! After dealing with so much, we’ve risen to meet this moment.
So, thank you. Your action has given us at EnviroVoters the kind of energy and hope we need.
Now, let’s finish strong. If you or a friend or loved one haven’t had a chance to cast your vote, it’s definitely not too late. Drop off your ballot at an official drop box (you can find drop box locations and in-person voting information here.)
Thanks for that extra bit of hope.
