| This election is going to come down to voter turnout. We imagine you’re probably planning to vote—but do you know for sure that all your friends and family will?
As one of our most active election activists, we’re asking you to help us test a new Facebook Messenger tool to get out the vote.
Research shows that one of the most powerful ways to get people to vote is by having someone they know and trust encourage them to vote. YOU could be that someone.
We’ve partnered with our friends at ParentsTogether to test a new tool that uses Facebook Messenger to easily encourage people to vote.
Here’s how it works. With just a single tap, you send a personalized reminder that includes your photo to a bunch of your Facebook friends. They’ll get your message asking them if they’re going to vote on Facebook Messenger. They can then send a similar message to THEIR friends, and so on. It’s super easy. |

This tool is still in Beta mode so we’d love your feedback. Was it easy to use? Do you think it was effective? What would make it better? Simply reply to this email and let us know your thoughts.
Thanks,
The Education Votes Team

| When you step into the voting booth this November, you’ll be making a choice that will affect students across America for years to come. But how will you decide?
At Education Votes, our mission is to ensure that every student, regardless of zip code, gets the best education that our great nation can provide. But we will never reach this goal without holding politicians accountable at the ballot box.
To truly address the issues that matter most to the students in our communities, we need to hear from you.
What issues matter most to you? How can we ensure your elected officials are held accountable?
Education funding, vouchers, healthcare, voting rights, college affordability? These issues and more affect students across the country every day. And that’s why we want to hear from you. |

| As a public education activist, you’re in the know about the local issues that matter most to students, parents, and voters. And that’s what makes your answers so important. With your help, we can identify the topics that will help ensure a first-class public education for every student and hold politicians accountable for their progress.
Parents and educators across the country are standing up for their students, but without public education champions in office, there’s only so much we can accomplish.
Please, take a moment to fill out our brief survey and let us know what issues are most important to public education activists in your community. Our nation’s students will thank you.
In Solidarity,
Carrie Pugh
NEA Political Director |

All citizens of the U.S. should consider voting their right and their obligation. Teachers are extremely aware of the importance of voting and have to make sure to pay particular attention to those candidates that support public education. HCAFA and IEA will be notifying you of their recommendations.
