Tomorrow is National Voter Registration Day, Tumblr.
This might possibly be the most high-stakes election ever, and ultimately it comes down to one thing: Actually voting.
That’s why we’re making it easy for you to help people register to vote.
There’s a new switch in your web dashboard, over in the right column. Turn it on, and anyone who visits your blog tomorrow will be shown a popover offering to get them registered to vote. It’ll stay there until Tuesday the 27th, 11 p.m. Eastern, across all your Tumblrs (if you have more than one), ready to take anyone who visits your Tumblr over to the official National Voter Registration Day site and get them all set up. You can turn it off at any time.
Only 57.5% of eligible voters actually voted in the last election. And only 42% of eligible 18–29 year-olds. What’s at stake? Oh, just gun violence, racial justice, the Supreme Court, education, a living wage, health care, clean water, immigration, the war on drugs, legal weed, access to abortion, national security, the gender gap, trans rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and the right to love who you love.
So, seriously, help people register to vote.
And while you’re at it…
Register to vote.
For all my USA followers / visitors: Let’s take a short break from all the smut for a moment.
I just wanted to say how important it is that you vote. It’s so easy and is what makes Democracy work.
