Loves, let me be clear, I have no intention of starting a fiery political discussion. This election has us all a little raw, and all a little firm in our positions. That’s ok. I support your right to believe what you believe, and to vote what you feel to be right. What I’m here to chat about is voting. The act. The thing that our ancestors fought for the right for, rocking the vote. Beyond the president (which I get, you may not like the candidates, I still feel like you should vote. No matter what, your voice matters), there is so much on the ballot this year. Senators and Representatives. State wide props and laws. Judges and Sheriffs. Local elections. All of this matters. All of this demands that we educate ourselves about what we truly think is best for our nation, our state, our city–and then using our right to have our voice be heard. Change moves from small up, so little elections matter. Props that take your tax dollar, that affect schools, matter. Even if you don’t like who you’re voting for, it matters. Even if you think your vote won’t be counted, it will, and it matters. I won’t tell you how to vote. I won’t shame you for your opinion. What I will ask is that you vote. Speak up. Rock the vote.
Wishing us all a week of exercising our rights and amazing shoes! XO RA
