🚨 USPS POSTMARK RULES HAVE CHANGED! 🚨 The USPS has changed how postmarks work, and it could impact mail-in ballots. ❌ Old: mail that has been RECEIVED by the post office. ✅ New: mail that has been PROCESSED by the post office. 📬 Postmark ≠ day you mail it anymore!

My job at #NoKings in Austin yesterday was registering voters and engaging people to volunteer with LWV. Estimated crowd of 30K. We had several orgs registering voters. Our table registered 130. Shout out to the organizers! This was a peaceful event, very well run.
Picture of a table with stacks of completed yellow voter registration forms. A volunteer is sorting the forms into different piles.2 perpetually silly women standing in front of a REGISTER TO VOTE HERE sign. One woman wears a sun hat with lots of voting related buttons. She has light skin and sunglasses and is smiling. The other woman is wearing a VOTE baseball cap and sunglasses. She is sticking her tongue out like she belongs in a metal band. It’s clear they have been friends for years.

Happy #BannedBooksWeek. If you love libraries and hate censorship, I'd encourage you to do more than just read a banned book this week. Here are a few ideas: 1. Get involved in your local public library board 2. Join or start a friends group 3. Organize a people's assembly for your public library
