🗳️💙💛 **VOTE! GO VOTE! YOUR VOICE MATTERS!**

**THE RIGHT TO VOTE HAS A HISTORY. THE NAACP IS PART OF THAT HISTORY.**

Before we could freely exercise the right to vote, generations before us fought against laws, intimidation, discrimination, and barriers designed to keep African Americans away from the ballot box.

Some were threatened. Some were beaten. Some lost their lives. Yet they continued fighting, not just for themselves, but for generations they would never live to see.

**Founded in 1909, the NAACP has spent more than a century fighting for civil rights, equal protection under the law, and access to the ballot.**

Through voter education, organizing, litigation, and advocacy, the NAACP helped challenge discriminatory voting practices and advance protections that contributed to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

But voting rights did not begin in 1965, and the responsibility to protect them did not end there.

**WHY DOES YOUR VOTE MATTER?**

Because decisions made by elected officials affect our everyday lives.

🏫 The education our children receive.

⚖️ The administration of justice and protection of civil rights.

🏘️ The safety and development of our communities.

🏥 Access to healthcare and essential services.

💰 How public resources are collected, allocated, and spent.

Our ancestors fought for the opportunity to participate in a democracy that too often excluded them. Today, we honor that history by remaining informed, engaged, and committed to protecting equal access to the ballot.

**Voting is not just about Election Day. It is about understanding the issues, examining those seeking public office, holding elected officials accountable, and remaining involved long after the ballots are counted.**

The NAACP's work reminds us that civil rights must be protected through education, advocacy, vigilance, and action.

**VOTE! GO VOTE!**
