What to do Wednesday - 20 August 2025


Your Weekly Guide to Staying Politically Active—From Abroad

This Wednesday, we’ve got a simple, powerful action: Go to VoteFromAbroad.org and request your ballot for 2025. 

Yes! Even if there are no elections in your state this year!

Why? Staying active on the voter rolls is essential to ensuring your ability to vote when it counts. Republican-led schemes to suppress votes and rig districts are relentless, but we still have the power to fight back — as long as we keep our voter registrations active and help others do the same.

Your Task Today:

  1. Visit VoteFromAbroad.org and request your absentee ballot for 2025.
  2. Call a friend and help them to complete their request too.

Why does this matter?
Every registration — especially from swing states — increases our chance to win. By activating voters now, we build the blue wave needed to overcome suppression and gerrymandering. Republicans are pulling out all the stops to tilt elections, but we can still out-organize and out-register them if we stay vigilant.

Let’s keep our community on the rolls and build momentum now — the fight for fair elections starts with every single voter. Register, reactivate, and recruit!
