Our Approach: Vote with Empathy and Love

History teaches us the profound impact of clashing ideals and principles in the United States. The Civil War is a stark reminder of what happens when a nation is divided over its vision of true democracy. With this understanding, many of us seek a different path paved with empathy and love.

Vote With Love is a civic engagement effort designed to grow empathy and help voters prepare to cast a more thoughtful and informed ballot to pursue true democracy.

In today's political climate, it's more important than ever to bring empathy into our voting process. Understanding and considering the experiences and needs of others can lead to more compassionate and informed decisions at the ballot box.

Did you know we can grow our empathy as a skill developed through intentional actions and reflections? By fostering meaningful conversations and actively listening to diverse perspectives, we can grow our empathy and, in turn, prepare ourselves to cast our most thoughtful votes yet.

How Can You Factor Love into Your Vote? We have curated a helpful path to guide you:

  1. Reflect: Examine how your personal values and beliefs shape your voting decisions.
  2. Commit: Schedule time for your voting preparation leading up to the election.
  3. Educate: Learn about candidates and issues using the many resources available.
  4. Empathize: Step outside your perspective to understand how your vote impacts others' lives and needs.
  5. Inspire: Encourage your circle to do the same and spread the love!
