With more restrictive legislation being passed on the local and state level, students now face even more obstacles when trying to vote. That’s why, in an effort to ensure that every citizen is represented at the polls, we’re turning #GivingTuesday into #GivingVotesDay!

Here are three easy ways to get involved in #GivingVotesDay:

1. DONATE
   As a holiday gift make a donation to Vote Everywhere in honor or memory of someone you love. Supporting young people who work for democracy, equality, and inclusion makes a meaningful gift!
2. SHARE
   Spread the spirit of civic engagement, generosity, and community on social media. Join Amy and post a short video talking about why you support The Andrew Goodman Foundation or copy and paste one the following messages:
   1. I choose compassion by supporting The Andrew Goodman Foundation this #GivingVotesDay. Learn more at www.andrewgoodman.org
   2. We must learn from lessons of the past to ensure an honest, just, and sustainable future. That’s why I’m supporting The Andrew Goodman Foundation this #GivingVotesDay. Join me now: www.andrewgoodman.org/givingvotesday
   3. Young people hold the key to an inclusive and fair world. That’s why this #GivingVotesDay I’m raising awareness for The Andrew Goodman Foundation and their Vote Everywhere Program: www.andrewgoodman.org|
3. HOST
   Do you know someone who shares your passion for youth leadership and civic engagement? A great way to get them involved in our mission is by hosting a house party in honor of The Andrew Goodman Foundation at your home or office! Are you interested? Send an email to maxim.thorne@andrewgoodman.org.

Thank you for being a champion of our work and helping us make young voices and votes a powerful force in democracy this #GivingVotesDay. Your support of our incredible young leaders upholds the legacy of Andrew Goodman and inspires positive change in communities all across the country.
