Mobilizing Our Communities to #MomTheVote
Elections are coming up fast, and every single vote matters for our families' futures. It’s time to help #MomTheVote! Studies show that friend-to-friend outreach is among the most powerful ways to inspire people to vote.
So we’ve made it SUPER easy to reach out using a new tool called Empower.

Take ActionKey Things to Know About Empower
- 100% Private: The Empower tool will never contact your friends, scrape your address book, or spam anyone. We cannot read your private messages, and you are always in complete control of who you text.
- Zero Guesswork: You’ll get simple, pre-written text messages (that you can edit if you want!) right in the app and a quick conversation guide so you never have to worry about what to say.
- Super Fast: You don't need to be a political expert or commit hours of your week. For instance, contacting just 3 (or more!) friends takes under five minutes.
Why Your Voice Matters in This Election
Your voice is needed! Between moving, name changes, new additions to the family, or turning 18, it’s easy for voter registration to slip through the cracks. From affordable health care, child care, safety for communities and immigrants, and more, our families’ priorities depend on WHO sits in local, state, and national offices. That’s why being the "friend" who sends a quick reminder makes such a huge difference! We will also be sending new actions you can take every week to get out the vote!
Together we are powerful!
