Voting rights are protected for all Americans, yet some don't vote. "Why is this?" What barriers still exist? 🤔 #VotingRights #CivicDuty #Vote #Democracy #GetInvolved #MakeADifference

Voter turnout is down. Way down. Across states and cities, numbers have dropped to historic lows. Is this a sign of what's to come? #democracy #vote #voterturnout #election #democracy #civicduty #news #politics

One of the primary missions of #BeTheOne is to destigmatize asking for #mentalhealth support, creating opportunity for those with mental health issues to speak freely and get the support they need.
