WE CAN's vision is an engaged and motivated network of women of color, focused on social justice, equal opportunity, and improved quality of life.

WE CAN is a national network that enables women of color to influence policy decisions at the local, state, and national levels. WE CAN identifies and recruits women of color who seek leadership positions; help them develop their talents; organize communities to support them; and build, nationwide, the capacity of women of color to advocate.

They’re counting on us to stay home. Let’s disappoint them. 💜

Life as a woman of color in this country is hard. Full stop. We don’t need to be reminded.

And still, it grates my cheese that anyone could believe we are anything other than intelligent, resourceful, creative, strategic, resilient, visionary, and capable. Our lived expertise, our credentials, our work, and our God-given gifts are enough. We should not have to prove our worth against someone else’s rigged measure.

Tomorrow, we get to elect people who SEE us.

To my sisters who feel cynical right now: if our votes didn’t matter, why would anyone work so hard to make voting more difficult?

Traversing roadblocks is one of our superpowers. Swipe for your voting plan, then save the Election Protection hotlines on slide 7:

📞 English: 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683)
📞 Spanish: 888-VE-Y-VOTA (888-839-8682)
📞 Asian languages: 888-API-VOTE (888-274-8683)
📞 Arabic: 844-YALLA-US (844-925-5287)

Ballot trackers, polling place lookup, and voting rights guides are all linked in our bio.

Check your ballot. Make your plan. Save the hotline. Help someone else make their voice heard.

As my Big Mama would have said: get your behind to the polls! 🗳️

👇 Tag a sister you’re voting with tomorrow, and send this to someone who might need a hotline.

It’s Crunch Time: Make a Plan to Vote

Early voting is open in many states, and voters are already reporting problems at the polls.

Ballot selections changing.
Machines picking the wrong candidate.
Voters wrongly removed from the rolls.

None of this has been proven as voter suppression. But it is a reason to walk in prepared, not surprised.

Our task this week is not to be discouraged. It’s to get resolved.

Every election is a job interview. You decide who has earned your support, and you hold them accountable.

We deserve a government that works for ALL of us.

“Who did you think was going to fix it?”
“The city.”
“And who’s the city?”

That one exchange explains voting better than any campaign ad ever could.

Most people don’t skip elections because they don’t care. They skip because no one ever connected the ballot to their actual life. The pothole on your street. Your kids’ school. The tree in your mom’s yard that took the city forever to cut down.

Local elections decide who answers those calls.

If you’ve ever felt like your vote doesn’t matter, watch this to the end. Then send it to someone who needs to hear it.

✍🏾 Your handwriting could help move someone from “maybe” to the ballot box.

Join WE CAN and PEO for Ink & Impact: WE CAN Sign, Seal, Deliver, a virtual letter-writing party for voter turnout.

📅 October 16, 2026
⏰ 7:00 – 8:00 PM ET
🔗 RSVP: https://tinyurl.com/INKIMPACT26

We’ll gather online, walk through the process together, and write personal, handwritten notes encouraging voters to participate in the November 3 election.

No phone calls. No door knocking. No experience needed. Just your handwriting, a stamp, and a willingness to help someone show up.

Bring:
🖊️ A blue or black pen
📬 Stamps for the letters you plan to write
🥤 Something to drink
🪑 A comfortable chair

We’ll provide message guidance, voter information, sample language, music, support, and a chance to win prizes while testing your civic knowledge.

After you RSVP, watch for an important preparation email. Some letter-writing options require a short advance sign-up, so you’ll need to complete a few steps before we meet.

WE CAN and PEO are nonpartisan 501(c)(3) organizations. Every message will focus on one simple request: Vote.

Come write with us—and leave with something ready to mail.

Fund families, not ICE.

We cannot afford another life lost to ICE violence.
