For many of us, October will be the month to VOTE, since early voting can be safer than braving the crowds on Election Day. Whether you mail in your ballot, drop it off at a polling station, or vote in person (socially distanced and masked, naturally), please make sure you do it – it’s how we take care of each other and our democracy.
