Since this coming Tuesday is Election Day in the United States of America, this post will be about VOTING! This is a feminist issue, of course- especially this year.
As we all know, this election cycle has been a rather tense one. Midterms don't normally see as big of a turnout as presidential elections but due to the current state of US politics, it's been even bigger- and it's not even election day yet.
As a mom, it is my duty to vote to teach my children to use their civic duties to vote when they turn 18 and are able to do so. However, while they are young, I vote to spark a change in the world that they are growing up in. As a survivor of sexual assault, that is more important this year more than ever for a few reasons.
First, we have Betsy DeVos, the Director of Education, attempting to roll back and rewrite Title IX guidelines. We had accused rapist Brett Kavanaugh awarded a spot on the Supreme Court. Most notably, our current president admitted to sexual assault on tape. Despite this, I'm going to vote early, tomorrow on November 3 and my fiancé and I will be taking my children our children along so that they're exposed to the importance of voting from a young age.
If you don't know what will be on your ballot, click here and do a quick search to make your decision! If you don't know where to cast your ballot, click here and then determine whether you will vote early or on Election Day. Remember... it's your civic duty, so go vote!
