“If you have anything that you feel is right and needs to be addressed, then this is a really good way to go out there and do it.”
Abigail Deewaard
Are you voting?
“Yes”
Why?
“Well partially because as a civic duty kind of thing as like a citizen of the United States I feel like it’s something I should be doing. I also want to make sure that the values and beliefs that I hold are being represented in the government.”
“I’m definitely like pro-environment protections and I want everyone to have a say so racial equality, equality for LGBTQ that kind of thing. Indigenous voices should be heard.”
Anything important to add?
“I’m doing a mail-in vote and I definitely recommend that for someone that can’t, ya know, get home to vote. That’s something that I recommend people do, It’s really like easy to just do the online thing. Make sure your voice is heard. It’s important.”
Sky Boniecki
Are you voting?
“I will, yes.”
Why?
“I think that voting is important because it is really really significant in terms of its impact to everyone’s livelihood, so being able to have that voice and have that impact is incredibly important in my opinion.”
Anything important to add?
“I just am going to encourage everybody to get out there and vote.”
Sara Plettau
Are you voting?
“Yes, I already voted actually by mail.”
Why?
“It’s important protecting my rights and the rights of vulnerable communities.”
“Abortion rigths for sure, especially with Roe v Wade being overturned.”
Anything important to add?
“Pajama says, because he can’t vote, every vote matters even if you think it doesn’t, it does. This is something you should take seriously, and some people’s voting rights are impeded so that’s something to take into consideration and be grateful that, you know, we have this opportunity.”
