Ok, I have no friends on Twitter, but I *have* donated to @MovementVote's Georgia Fund. Delighted to support the essential work that's happening in GA right now!

It’s a beautiful day to support activists working on the ground in Georgia! Action today: make a donation and tag three #AmericansAbroad to do the same! @mutter_witz @ajenniferpage @SwissJenny #PassTheVoteToGA

So grateful for everyone in Switzerland and around the world who helped make these videos happen and - more importantly - helped to #passthevote!

1) On Aug 24, we launched #passthevote to help communicate the collective power of the US overseas vote. It became a global collaboration, with videos coming from almost every continent. Thank you to everyone who helped us #gotv to Americans who #votefromabroad!

Help your friends overcome #votefromabroad paralysis:
📌 PRINTING (paper size? who has a printer?!)
📌 ENVELOPES (affixing labels, "naked" ballots)
📌 DEADLINES (to FWAB or not to FWAB)
📌 FAXING (what yr is this??)
📌 POSTAGE (courier? tracking? what are stamps?)

Just as citizenship does not stop at the border, neither does it end with voting. But in 2020, it certainly begins there. US citizens abroad: let’s get this done. https://t.co/qIA7LfAdya #passthevote 31/

TL;DR: democracy in the US is precious, valued and not to be taken for granted. We as Americans will not accept less than our birthright: participation in government of the people, by the people and for the people – wherever those people may be. 30/

Speaking of #COVID-19: the US has had one of the worst COVID responses worldwide, which means that almost by definition, US citizens residing abroad are safer from the virus than they would be at home. 13/

ISSUES -- Key US issues affecting people’s lives in 2020 - #climatecrisis, #economy, #healthcare, #coronavirus, #socialjustice, #immigration - are global because the outcomes literally cross borders. 8/

Feeling overwhelmed by the news like me? READ THIS THREAD, especially if you know any #overseasvoters. And then go #passthevote!

[Action Together: Zurich 🇺🇸🇨🇭 @ActZurich]

Why is the #votefromabroad so important this year? Let’s look at the numbers and a few salient issues. 1/

[Jenny R @SwissJenny]

How did I #passthevote this week?
- Asked my English practice group to tell their US friends about @votefromabroad
- Found out co-worker had not yet requested ballot; sent him info from @votefromabroad
- Asked US neighbor if she & her 3 kids were ready to vote-answer was yes!😁

Learned a few things with this, including a new-to-me and very relevant term "Intermestic". Thanks @ActZurich!

If you are overseas and vote from one of the 20 states that require return by mail: DON'T PANIC!!
📌Register and request that your ballot be returned by email (ETA: September 19) @vfaglobal
📌While you're waiting: send in your FWAB (backup)
📌Then come back here & #passthevote

[Action Together: Zurich 🇺🇸🇨🇭 @ActZurich]
