TUMBLR TUESDAY: REGISTER TO VOTE EDITION

Does it feel like election day is still ages away? It’s not; in fact, early voting began for half of the country this week. And for half of the country, if you’re not yet registered in just two weeks, you’ll lose the chance to vote entirely. That’s what happened to 6 million Americans in 2008; this year, we’re participating in National Voter Registration Day to help make sure you’re not left out.

If you’re in the US, you should see the button above on your Dashboard; click it to register through our friends at Our Time.

No matter how you feel about politics, remember that your vote has the power to make a difference for at least one critical candidate or ballot measure on your ticket. If you don’t participate in the voting booth, you allow others to make important decisions for you.

Need some inspiration? Check out this gorgeous GIF campaign from MTV’s Power of 12, a new video from the cast of Workaholics, and a gallery of voting-inclined celebs at HyperVocal.

For more info, follow National Voter Registration Day on Tumblr, or track the tag #925NVRD. You can register in person at an NVRD meetup happening near you, or phone in any questions to the Election Protection Hotline at 1-866-OUR-VOTE.

And even if you’re already registered, please reblog this post to ensure none of your followers miss it!

Sadly this is increasingly true. 1 in 2 recent grads is jobless or underemployed. That’s why we launched www.onemillionnewjobs.org to get one million young Americans into the workforce in teaching, nursing, disaster relief, and other needed community positions!

GROWING UP

Recent studies indicate that our age group suffers more from stress than other age group. The most effective way to get rid of our stress is by attacking the cause — which are clearly jobs and debt. If you agree, LIKE this post and help spread awareness of both the problem and the solution!

This is a vicious cycle! Help us break the cycle and create one million new jobs in areas of national need such as nursing, teaching, technology, green jobs and more! Add your name at www.ourtime.org/createjobs and show you are One Million Strong for jobs!

Oh my god this

It sucks.

Tuition rates have gone up dramatically during the past three decades. One of the major reasons for this has been the withdrawal of state and local funding. Education should be a priority, not a privilege… LIKE this if you agree, and tell us your student loan stories.
