You've checked to make sure your own voter registration is updated. Now it’s time to get your friends and family ready to vote early. Ask 3 people—via text, email, or social media—to check their voter registration today. If this is the one thing you can do all week, do it.
All it takes is a few clicks!

Kroger, which wants to buy yet ANOTHER grocery chain:
-Ranks among the largest companies with employees dependent on Medicaid & SNAP
-Paid its CEO $14M last year, 417x its median worker's pay of just $34,552
-Spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019
This is what corporate greed looks like.

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.
