Who wants to put their time and energy into getting Democratic voters to the polls? I signed up with RideShare2Vote - you travel on your own dime and drive folks to vote.

Transportation should never be a barrier to voting. But somewhere around 15% of eligible voters nationwide do not get to vote because of various transportation problems. RideShare2Vote has been working to get people to the polls since 2019.

You can sign up (they train you) or donate.
