This Month’s Action Tip: Check your Voter Registration!
Many states have implemented plans to make voting more difficult. Verify you have the correct ID, your address is correct, and you have not been removed from voter registration rolls. And then—help you neighborhoods to do the same! Remind your congregation and unit members. All voices matter, be a part of making them count!
