Make sure each eligible voter in your social circle:

1. is registered to vote.
2. has a voter plan.
3. is prepared to be an informed #PrincipledVoter.

That is far more effective than this "doomscrolling" situation happening on here.

#GrowYourVote, not your eye strain.
It's as simple as this:
"Hey Stacy, I was just wanting to check in. I remember you had moved over the summer. Did you get your voter registration updated? This link will help you check your registration. p2a.co/XxqPyzb/voter-…
I just checked mine too!"
You can also call up your old college roommate who says "politics isn't for me" and talk about the issues that matter to you. Help them see how policy impacts their lives and those around them. Do they care about education policy? Clean air? Racial injustice?
Talk to them.
Spend your time growing your vote, not the number of minutes on Twitter today.

You've heard of #QAnon. But do you know what it's all about?
1/4 ImageImageImage
So why has QAnon amassed a following? Its believers feel disenfranchised & think they're insiders in an information war. It harnesses fears and creates a sense of community. Some women link their maternal call to protect the innocent with Q's anti-child-trafficking messaging.
2/4 ImageImage
QAnon IS dangerous. Followers have been arrested for violence and have spread racist/anti-Semitic rhetoric. Q has hindered human rights/public health efforts by perpetuating myths. QAnon erodes a sense of shared truth and values, causing cynicism, division, and disengagement.

Thanks @LizMair! Exciting to see MWEG in the New York Times.
For the first time in our lives, women of our faith have the opportunity to have an impact in a national election create a more expansive political environment within our communities. nytimes.com/2020/10/02/opi…
Executive Director, @EmmaMWEG, said “While our members fall all over the political spectrum, we have found that many continue to become more frustrated with rhetoric and policies from this president’s administration and how it doesn’t match their values.”
Being frustrated with our political system is simply not enough. Our #GrowYourVote toolkit is explicitly designed to help you amplify your voice and find other principled voters in your communities. Sometimes democracy is easy, right now it is hard.

The women of Mormon Women for Ethical Government join together today in a clear and loud expression of faith. (1/7) Image
White supremacy in all of its manifestations is contrary to the will of God. His highest commandments are unequivocal: we are to first love the Lord our God, and second our neighbor as ourselves. (2/7)
This simple and brief direction, when accepted by those with integrity, does not allow for racism, oppression, hatred, violence, or any intimations of racial superiority. Supremacy and equality cannot coexist, either in the sight of God or the law. (3/7)

We respectfully remind national leadership that our elections are decided not in the courts but at the ballot box. The people of the United States cast their ballots, and elected officials respect the results of the elections.

1/4
We call upon the president and all members of Congress to affirm their faith in the electoral process, ensure that all ballots are counted, and commit to honor the will of the people as expressed on November 3.

2/4
We reject attempts to manipulate the vote that increase cynicism and sow doubt in the election process. If our election system is in danger, responsibility for this rests on the shoulders of those who currently hold power, and this should disqualify them from further service.

Hi there. Again. [Thread]
Obviously, we are disappointed by the rush to hold SCOTUS hearings in the middle of such a highly contentious election. We respect the constitutional right of a Pres. to nominate and Senate to confirm, there is no constitutional requirement on timing.
By pushing nomination and confirmation forward, the President and Senate risk doing significant and lasting institutional harm. One of MWEG's leaders, @jenwalkerthomas wrote in greater depth about that risk in this op-ed: sltrib.com/opinion/commen… #utpol
@SenatorRomney's statement has been of great interest to our thousands of members, their vast social networks, and the public. While we agree that his dismissal of an argument centered around "fairness" is correct, there are *legitimate* reasons to slow the nomination process.
