Strong emotional reaction to something you read about voting? That's a good moment to pause and double-check. Misinformation is often designed to make you feel urgency or fear. Verify before you share. buff.ly/PNyYlOV #VoteReady

Do you remember how you felt the very first time you voted in an election? No doubt we all had some belief in the system and making a difference one vote at a time. It’s time to re kindle that belief in ourselves, our family, friends and neighbors, and especially the young people in our lives.

Our democracy is crumbling around us because we haven't exercised citizenship to the level of rigor that we need to. We can't continue with business as usual. Pressure your institutional leaders, faith leaders, etc to exercise a higher level of citizenship. - @sifill.bsky.social #ClassACTHR73Forum

Your community needs you to step up and DO SOMETHING. Help other people register and vote, learn the rules of voting, be a poll worker/watcher, volunteer with an organization, combat disinformation--pick something and commit to doing it. Don't stay on the sidelines. - @wendyweiser.bsky.social

If ICE or other federal officers are spotted, it's better to send that information directly to organizations that can challenge that, rather than spread the intimidation. - @wendyweiser.bsky.social #ClassACTHR73Forum

It's important that people are trained to get out the vote. This administration is likely to prosecute not because they're going to get convictions, but as a way to intimidate. Make sure you are trained and are under the umbrella of an organization that can tell you what you can and cannot do.

Even though courts have largely stepped in to stop illegal interference, a lot of damage occurs between the attempts and the court halting them. Misinformation and confusion could further disenfranchise people. - @wendyweiser.bsky.social

@wendyweiser.bsky.social emphasizes how unprecedented the federal executive branch's campaign to interfere in elections is. She urges everyone to focus on that and keep advocating for rebalancing voting rights even after Election Day.

The upside: It's taking all these efforts for these people to feel like they can interfere with our political process. They are very aware of how committed so many people are to exercising their right to vote. Even in 2020, we had the largest turnout in presidential history. #ClassACTHR73Forum

A large part of why we find ourselves where we are is because of the Supreme Court, especially its allowance of federal interference in redistricting. @sifill.bsky.social #ClassACTHR73Forum

We've seen a significant decline in voting rights through campaign finance, gerrymandering, and the Supreme Court's "literal evisceration" of the Voting Rights Act. -Seth Waxman #ClassACTHR73Forum

You will hear from our panel about how we need to be attentive to how the election is being disrupted beforehand, might be during, and could be well into Jan 2027, says moderator @ejdionne.bsky.social but we need to be careful not to let that keep us from voting. A free & fair election is possible.
