Voting rights — especially for Black and young voters — are under attack. That's why When We All Vote, Michelle Obama and Chris Paul are launching the #VoteLoud HBCU Squad Challenge to empower HBCU students to take a leading role in voter registration, education, and mobilization efforts on their campuses.

We’re going to make our voices heard in 2022 and beyond! Visit weall.vote/voteloud to sign up and learn more.

★ Are there any book to screen adaptations you’re looking forward to? I’m excited for Red, White & Royal Blue! It was one of my favorite reads a few years ago, and I can’t wait for the story to reach more people! Also, if you’re in the US and you haven’t voted yet, I hope you can take the time to do so today! Get out there, help those who need a ride or can’t find their polling location (voters age 18-29 often cite these reasons for why they don’t vote), and vote like your life depends on it—because it probably does. ♥️ ★ HASHTAGS // #bookseverywhere #shelfie #bookhoarder #bookstagram #rainbowshelves #bookaddict #bibliophile #booklover #booksofig #booksofinstagram #bookpics #homelibrary #redwhiteandroyalblue #caseymcquiston #getoutthevote #voteblue #electionday #queerbooks #lgbtqreads https://www.instagram.com/p/CktdEL2PXRo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Complacency is always the beginning of failure. Go out and vote. Make a new plan for whatever it is you are trying to conquer today. Do not standby while the world keeps moving. You must take action. You must make the world a better place for the future generations.. I don’t care who you vote for, but just be sure that your voice is heard.#getoutthevote #complacencysucks #standforsomething #sundayquotes #drjaycalvert #democracyontheballot (at America) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkoTQqihfdm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's September 19th. On this day in 1893, Governor Lord Glasgow signed the Electoral Bill, thereby making New Zealand the first country on the planet to grant national voting rights to women. The bill was the outcome of years of suffragette meetings in towns and cities across the country, with women often traveling considerable distances to hear lectures and speeches, pass resolutions, and sign petitions.

So how did New Zealand manage to grant all women, including indigenous Maori women, the right to vote before other countries did? The fight in New Zealand was won thanks to a strong relationship with the temperance movement and quite a bit of persistence. The temperance movement had come to prominence in New Zealand in the 1880s. It blamed alcohol for many of the country's problems, for which women and children bared the brunt.

Kate Sheppard of Christchurch, a leader in the Temperance Union, became New Zealand's leading suffragette. She spoke up and down the country to great success and organized a series of petitions to Parliament. She was highly influential, despite making many enemies in the liquor industry who, predictably, unleashed a torrent of fake-news propaganda against her and the women's suffrage movement. Sheppard's 1893 petition gained nearly a quarter of all adult women’s signatures and pressured Lord Glasgow to do the right thing and sign the bill.

Jump ahead almost a hundred years to 1989, and we see that women not only won the right to vote, but the vote itself. That year, Helen Clark became New Zealand's first female Deputy Prime Minister. In 1997, Jenny Shipley became New Zealand's first female Prime Minister, period. In 1999, Clark succeeded her as the second female Prime Minister. The current Prime Minister is Jacinda Ardern, who became the third female Prime Minister of New Zealand in 2017. Congratulations, New Zealand! Well done! ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

Five postcards heading to North Carolina! Cal Cunningham’s name is on the campaign, but it’s one urging voters to vote Democrat up and down the ballot. North Carolina is a true swing state that is ready for change! . . Suddenly I am sitting on a whole stack of postcards I have made for Vote by Mail and am not sure if I should use. I definitely held them back for this campaign, as the scripts had no mention of absentee voting. I don’t know if Postcards to Voters is done with Florida Vote By Mail for this election cycle or just taking a break, but hopefully there are still campaigns that will urge people to request ballots by mail! (I do know deadlines are getting close!) or I don’t know what I will do with all those. . #postcardstovoters #postcards #calfornc #voteforalldems #bluewave #defenddemocracy #craftivism #gotv #getoutthevote #beavoter https://www.instagram.com/p/CFPeQ37g_FY/?igshid=m7sz0iqi71jr
