We love to see our team supporting our democracy! Thank you, Sheridan Earle (She/Her), and all of our poll workers for the incredibly important job you do. If #NationalPollWorkerRecruitmentDay is inspiring you to get involved, check out Power the Polls to learn how: https://lnkd.in/g-PZrfK.
🗳 For #NationalPollWorkerRecruitmentDay, I'm calling on everyone to consider supporting their local precinct. Twice a year, I have the duty and honor to serve as Judge of Elections. This experience has deepened my connection to my community, strengthened my commitment to our democracy, and shown me the value of EVERY vote. In November 2017, feeling politically weary but committed to our civic duties, my husband and I went to vote together as we always do. Noticing that there were no candidates for Judge or Majority Inspector of Elections, we jokingly wrote each other in. The joke was on us, however, when we received our certificates for winning our respective races a few weeks later. Seven years and one successful re-election campaign later, we still proudly hold these positions, ensuring fair and free elections in our local precinct. #ElectionDay is one of my favorite days of the year. I’ve met many neighbors, helped countless voters, and had numerous memorable interactions. I’d love for you to have these experiences yourself. 🗳 If you have questions on how to get started, please let me know! You can also visit Power the Polls to get connected to your local governments to sign up as a poll worker: https://lnkd.in/efN8Wuqu. #SupportDemocracy #PollWorker

#ICYMI: While many European destinations are managing overwhelming tourism with restrictions and fees, Copenhagen is leading the way with an innovative approach—rewarding responsible tourist behavior through its new initiative, CopenPay. Beginning July 15, tourists who engage in the city’s green initiatives—such as cycling, train travel, and clean-up efforts—will be granted access to cultural experiences like museum tours, kayak rentals, and free meals. “We must change how we move around the destination, what we consume, and how we interact with the locals,” said Mikkel Aarø-Hansen, CEO of Wonderful Copenhagen. This initiative is part of a broader effort to transform tourism from an environmental burden into a force for positive change. Learn more in The New York Times here. https://bit.ly/3zCfAfO

“As the saying goes, 'If you don’t have a seat at the table, you’re probably on the menu.'” Tune into this important conversation with McPherson Strategies client SHANNON WATTS as she sat down with The Amendment podcast hosts Errin Haines and Jennifer Gerson to talk about how we can all take on special interest groups, like the gun lobby, and effect real change in our communities.
States with the highest rates of firearm ownership have a 65 percent higher rate of domestic firearm homicide than states with the lowest rates of gun ownership, according to Everytown for Gun Safety. Black women are among those at the highest risk of experiencing gun violence, and gun violence is the number one cause of death for children and teens in the United States. Yet America’s gun laws are decided by a population that is largely White, male and over the age of 60. Shannon Watts, founder of the grassroots gun control advocacy organization Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America — which has helped pass more than 600 gun safety bills and stopped the NRAs agenda in state houses 90 percent of the time over the last ten years — joins The Amendment Podcast this week. Join her and 19th reporter Jennifer Gerson for a conversation about gun violence, the responsibility of White moms and what the future could hold. Listen wherever you get your podcasts:
