Season 1 | Episode 13: Rock the Vote

Welcome back to Cynthia @ the Table. I am your host, and our team is here rocking the vote today! That’s right, we are at the home stretch of the election race. We are literally 5 days away from election day. We at Cynthia@theTable are doing our part, and we want to continue to encourage all of you as well to get out there, show up and vote!  I’ve been saying for a while now, 2020 is the year!  This has been such a pivotal year.Although we have been dealt some challenging hands with COVID-19 and other tragedies this year, now is the time to be impactful and purposeful. Let us not forget the price that our ancestors paid; sweat, blood and tears, to ensure that we have the right to vote. Not too long ago, women could not vote. People of color could not vote.Now, in this great American nation, we have that essential right. So what are you going to do with the privilege that was given to you? Are you going to sit back and just complain about what’s wrong with America and who doesn’t deserve to be elected? Or are you going to get out there and do something to let your voice be heard. Well, the first place to start was to become a registered voter. There are sooooo many resources and information out there telling you how you could register and how and where you can go to vote.  In fact, I want you all to check out the Cynthia@theTable website and our Facebook page.We’ve posted some great links to resources that will give you all the information you need for this election season:How to register;How to vote early by mail;Where to mail in your ballots; andPolling places to vote in person.We have gotten so savvy with our voting mechanisms and tools. You can find out online the specific days and times your polling place is open and even the approximate wait times.How cool is that!  There are so many ways that you can vote. So really, there’s no excuse. You have the power to be a change agent. Your voice matters, and your vote matters. As the great Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “The time is always right to do what is right.”And our time is now!Our Lakers closed out the NBA season.  Our Dodgers brought home the World Series championship.Now it’s time to close out this election race.
