Voting in the 2024 election concludes one week from Tuesday.
What we are able to achieve together in the next week will determine if we spend the next four years charting a better future for our students, or if we will spend our time fighting back against the proliferation of book bans, vouchers, and extreme budget cuts.
Voters will choose a new president and elect their representatives to the Senate, House of Representatives, and, in some areas, state and local offices.
Below are some election-related resources. I hope you will take the time to explore them, and that they are useful to you when you talk to friends, family, and neighbors about the stakes of this election.
With polls showing a tight election, it may take several days for the race for president to be called. Just like in 2020, certain states may take extra time to count every vote.
Let’s make our voices heard.
In solidarity,
