This is going to be a tough time for our communities, and we all need to find ways to show up for each other. Donate to food banks, check in on your neighbors, and continue contacting your representatives and urging them to stop holding crucial assistance hostage and reopen the government.

And remember, voting deadlines are different this year, and your ballot needs to be postmarked by October 30th to arrive on time, or you can take it to a drop box by 8 pm on election day!
