Speak up! Your Vote is Your Voice, So Don't Be Silent!

The 2024 elections are more important than ever. Not only will elected officials set our nation's (and the world's) course for the future, but they also are beholden to those who put them into office - that's you.
It's you and others like you who vote them into office. So if you are concerned about your future, then it's up to you to elect the right people and to tell them what you want.
You may ask, "Can one vote change an election?" Maybe not just one, but when many voters choose to not vote, elections may not turn out the way that you like.
Don't let that happen!
Speak up and vote!
Sidebar: One instance of how decisions that we make today will impact our future is how we choose to manage our climate. We have known for decades that unless we act decisively, our climate crisis will become a climate emergency.
We're at that point now. Unless we curtail emissions by 50% by 2030, we're committing ourselves and our planet to centuries of storms, droughts, fires, hurricanes, and floods the likes of which we've never seen before.
When that dystopian climate forecast was made, 2030 seemed far enough away that we could kick the can down the road and say, "we'll do it tomorrow".
But now, 2030 right around the corner. We cannot delay action for another four years. That's why our 2024 elections are so important: we need people who will act, not just talk and delay.
So choose wisely!
