If you make a mistake on your ballot, ask for a new one. If the machines are down at your polling place, ask for a paper ballot. If you run into any problems or have questions on Election Day, call the Election Protection Hotline: 1-866-OUR-VOTE? There are yellow stars in the top left corner, and a graphic of a hand putting a ballot into a ballot box in the bottom right corner.

We can have human rights or we can have fossil fuels.
We can’t have both.
Today at #UNGA77 Vanuatu has become the first nation-state to call for the adoption of a Fossil Fuels Non-Proliferation Treaty. Other states must follow.

Black, Brown and Indigenous people are repeatedly denied access to asylum and unjustly detained. Remind the administration that everyone fleeing violence must be afforded the same opportunity to seek safety and demand they free our community members. act.amnestyusa.org/page/7477…

Today marks 2 years since Paul Rusesabagina was abducted, disappeared and tortured by Rwandan authorities.
He remains wrongfully imprisoned.
The Lantos Foundation will never stop advocating for this brave humanitarian hero and will continue our call to #FreeRusesabagina.

Abortion is a human right. The American people recognize that 👏
BREAKING: Kansas voters just defeated a ballot measure that would've given politicians in Kansas unlimited authority to restrict access to abortion care in the state.
People in Kansas came to the polls and made it clear: Abortion is a right that we will fight for.

The #SCOTUS decision released earlier today is an egregious violation of human rights. No one should be forced to carry a pregnancy against their will. We will always continue to fight for a person’s right to choose. #mybodymychoice #RoeVWade
