The plus-size community is 100 million women strong. We live passionately, feel deeply and commit to what\u2019s important to us with intention.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m a first-generation American. Because of that, the rights that I have \u2014 the right to vote chief among them \u2014 I don\u2019t take for granted. No matter where you fall on the political spectrum, participating in elections is the foundation of our political process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We should all invest in upholding our democracy, no matter who we\u2019re voting for, by casting our own votes and also volunteering to help others vote, too. Volunteering to help others exercise the right to vote is an easy but hugely impactful way to get involved, whether you\u2019re working a hotline or offering guidance at the polls.<\/span><\/p>\n

If style is our self-expression, then voting \u2014 and contributing to the process by helping to clear the path for others in this confusing time \u2014 is how we turn expression into action. It\u2019s a celebration of freedom, and a cause worth dressing up for.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And while national politics dominates the news cycles, much of what actually determines our day-to-day lives is decided at the local level. So while they may not be the races that get the attention, the elections at every level of our towns, cities, states and country are all important. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You all hear me talk about my mother a lot. That\u2019s because she shaped who I am and what I value most. My mom always, always voted. When she was abroad, she mailed in her vote, and made sure  to fill out ballots for every election. Everything from the school superintendent to the president of the United States \u2014 she knew that it all mattered, and so it mattered to me. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m proud to be casting my vote in just a few weeks and want to help encourage others to do so too. Here are some of our favorite ways to take action in 2020: <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If letter writing is your new hobby<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join <\/span>Vote Forward<\/span><\/a>\u2019s mission to mail 10 million letters to unregistered and low-propensity voters across the country.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to help others get their \u2018I Voted\u2019 sticker<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volunteer to be a poll worker with <\/span>Power the Polls<\/span><\/a>, an initiative dedicated to recruiting poll workers to ensure a safe and fair election. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re great on the phone<\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The <\/span>Election Protection Hotline<\/span><\/a> is currently recruiting volunteers in a number of states across the country to help voters in 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who you vote for doesn\u2019t matter. What matters is <\/span>that you are participating in the process<\/span><\/a>. So please join our community in <\/span>pledging to vote<\/span><\/a>. And because our freedom to vote is a gift, this is a task worth committing to. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
