Hello,
Today, Sept 22, is National Voter Registration Day! Did you know that 74% of social workers say they vote regularly? As advocates for social justice, social workers have an ethical duty to pursue social change with and on behalf of people who are vulnerable or oppressed.
It is imperative that social workers vote with social work values at the forefront and empower their clients and communities to exercise their right to vote, too. Millions of potential voters miss their opportunity to vote each Election Day because of discriminatory voting systems and issues with voter registration.
In Massachusetts, in order to vote in the General Election on November 3, you must be registered to vote by October 24.
