Why #MobilizeToVote?
- Because the future of you and your community depends on it. Every day we hustle and sacrifice to keep those we love protected and by voting, we’ll help elect candidates that understand the issues relevant to us.
- Because you can show up for those that can’t. Many of us have a family, friend or neighbor that isn’t eligible to vote due to their immigration status. If eligible to vote, use your political power to elect candidates that care about their well-being.
- Because if you don’t, others will. If you don’t take action, your voice won’t be heard when important decisions are made.
- And most importantly, whether you’re eligible to vote or not, you have the power to take action and build an equitable system that works for everyone.

- Share MAF’s Resource Page with your network.
- Volunteer with Rock the Vote to help register and engage voters, share important information, and defend our voting rights.
