Today's Kindness #507: September 16, 2025
🗳️ Register To Vote 🗳️
National Voter Registration Day on September 16 is a reminder that democracy only works when we all take part. This day encourages every eligible citizen to register and ensure their vote counts.
Since its start in 2012, the movement has grown into one of the largest civic efforts in the country. Millions of people have registered thanks to the hard work of local, state, and national organizations, along with thousands of volunteers who dedicate time to raising awareness. Timed just ahead of major elections, the day helps put vital information into the hands of voters exactly when it is needed most.
Taking action today is simple. Check your voter registration status, encourage a friend to register, or share reliable resources like NationalVoterRegistrationDay.org, Vote.org, Ballot Ready, or Go Vote Colorado. If you've moved recently or need to update your registration, today is the perfect day to make sure your voice will be heard in the next election.
Kindness on National Voter Registration Day is about more than encouraging participation. It is about building stronger communities. Every ballot cast reflects care for our neighbors, our schools, and our future. When we each take responsibility to be informed and engaged, we strengthen democracy for everyone.
Other Ways You Can Help:
Pump it up with a rally - There's nothing more American than a rally. Organize speakers, entertainment, and, of course, voter registration tables. Make it a fun event with a purpose.
-
Volunteer to knock on doors - Walking around the neighborhood is a great way to connect. National Voter Registration Day is about educating and empowering voters, not about pushing one party. Plus, the exercise is a bonus.
-
Volunteer your skills - You can help by creating a social media campaign, designing flyers, or organizing carpools to registration events. Or lend your time to a candidate's campaign if you want to go a step further.
Make your vote count. Your voice matters.
