“In a real sense, if you don’t vote, you don’t exist.” Recording just after the death of Gloria Steinem, Kari and Lisa talk about why voting in the 2026 election matters—and why participating in democracy means more than casting our own ballots. They discuss threats facing election workers, changing voting laws, AI-generated misinformation, the importance of getting election information from trusted sources, and the privilege of having the time, access, and resources that make voting relatively easy. They also ask what each of us can do to make voting easier for someone else—and invite listeners to consider one essential question before casting a ballot: What am I voting to protect, and who am I remembering besides myself when I vote? Check your registration and find current voting information at Vote.gov, get help through the nonpartisan Election Protection hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE, or learn how to become a poll worker.
