The road to Inauguration Day was long and windy— but if participation is the hallmark of a healthy democracy, 2020 turnout should give us cause for optimism that transcends partisan divides. #InaugurationDay

This is actually a common determining factor in likelihood of voting— voters are significantly more likely to say they grew up surrounded by political discussion at home.

Happy #ElectionDay! Darin is a “millennial mama” from FL & one of many former non-voters to become a #FirstTimeVoter in 2020. As she leaves the ranks of the nearly 40M millennial non-voters, she speaks openly about how little her family discussed news growing up...

@johnnysundari @SusanSarandon Not liking the candidates was indeed the #1 reason non-voters in our survey cited for sitting out elections. And it was the top reason cited by progressives who abstain (nearly 21 million people). But many people who don’t vote regularly are also very open to it.

Non-voters have the power to decide the election if they turn out. I’m talking with non-voters in my life about why their votes matter and working to understand their concerns. Tag a friend if you’re with me! #FriendsHelpFriendsVote

Happy Halloween 🎃👻 Here’s a spooky stat: Millennials make up a disproportionate number of non-voters, but so far they’ve been turning out in strong numbers in 2020 early voting. They just might decide this year’s election.

Many people assume it’s too late to inspire non-voters to #vote because they’re unregistered. GOOD NEWS: most non-voters are actually registered to cast a ballot! Learn more about the reasons non-voters abstain at https://t.co/kfz3hEmn9a.

Here’s a wild stat-- There are TEN TIMES as many non-voters as there are swing voters. With so much focus in the media on these “undecideds”, it’s easy to overlook the much larger group who habitually abstain altogether. Hang in there!

Let’s make this giraffe WAY shorter in 2020. Vote vote vote!!

Only 26% of 18-24 year olds say the process of voting is “very easy.” What changes could get more young voters to the polls in the future? Learn about non-voters at https://t.co/kfz3hEmn9a.
