Shatter that Shit.
We know you’re *absolutely voting* in this election because you are a *gem* of a human and you know the *value of your voice.* BUT this year isn’t just about casting a ballot. We know this, right?
Imagine casting a vote that isn’t just historic, but seismic - breaking that old ass glass ceiling wide open by putting a woman in the highest office. It’s been time to break that shit. Shatter it - so we can let more people in every election going forward, again and again. We’re beyond ready to kick some crusty old white men outta office.
But that’s just the start. Every line on your ballot counts.
When you vote down-ballot, you’re handing power to the school boards, city councils, judges - the ones who decide what’s actually happening on your streets and in your kids’ classrooms. These local leaders are the frontline, and they need to look like us, sound like us, be like us. If we want real representation - we need to start at the roots and watch it grow.
On that note - it’s 2024, girl. Who says you can’t be the one making moves? We may have the most women and minorities in government than we’ve ever had before - but that’s still not enough. It’ll never be enough, until we flood the offices with the likes of you, and us.
It can be tough to know where to start, so we’re looking to one of our fav orgs to guide us: She Should Run. These babes are connecting everyday actions to your political power in their “Vote, And” campaign. They’re not asking you to file tomorrow. They’re asking you to open your mind to the possibility of elected leadership because the future of our democracy depends on it. And you’d also look great in a power suit, just sayin’.
So grab your hammers, ladies. Your drills, your paint brushes, your sharpened eye liner. Let’s shatter that shit. And if you need just a little more inspiration? We’re still bumpin’ THIS eight years later. And we’ll be bumpin’ it all the way to the polls next week.
Let’s fkn go.
