17 Change-Makers Share Why They're So Passionate About Using Their Voice in This Election

"Our country is on fire. If you can vote, it is imperative that you participate. It is a matter of life and death. We have to allow ourselves to see what real change looks like when we vote and follow through. Vote and hold leaders accountable, vote and put people in positions of power who deserve us, vote and have genuine compassion for those harmed by white supremacy, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, the patriarchy, and f*cked capitalism. We deserve love. Voting is one way you can show love for yourself and the community. Do it safely."
