Amplifying Voices

Posted on September 3, 2020October 11, 2021 By amarasubs No Comments on Amplifying Voices

Our newest initiative is all about amplifying today’s critical voices, who are leading us toward a more equitable, sustainable and accessible world.

To start with, we’re focusing on increasing participation in the upcoming US elections. In the US, despite at least 350 languages being actively spoken, most information about voting is only available in English. With your help, we can help ensure that everyone, no matter what language they speak, knows how to exercise their right to vote in this critical election.

You can Amplify by:

  1. Translating a video (below) into your native language, if it isn’t already
  2. Sharing the video link (below) with your social networks

  • Your Voice, Your Vote, Your Future – by YWCA
  • A message from the When We All Vote co-chairs – by When We All Vote
