You know what`s scarier than ghouls and goblins this October? Gerrymandering!
Every decade, each state draws new congressional maps, which impact our elections and control of Congress for the next 10 years.
The last time this happened, parties aggressively drew maps to keep themselves in power. In short, they gerrymandered.

I’m not really into politics but it also should not be ignored. Right now it’s off season midterm voting. Next year is the midterm voting. Honestly, I never voted for the midterm election cos I wasn’t really familiar with it as compared to the presidential election. It just didn’t seem important. Now, I realize its important because of this song: “My Vote Dont Count” by YelloPain (@yellopain ) . Full link here: https://youtu.be/wMALeR1i-FM. (Transcript provided below)
Genuinely curious: do you vote during off season? Why or why not? Wanna vibe everyone out!! 🙂

The smartest thing you could do for yourself is to be #ballotready. By looking up your ballot beforehand, you will get explanations that you can understand, rather than the complicated legal jargon that’ll be on your ballot.
Remember local elections are just as important as presidential elections!

This past year alone, 389 bills in 48 states have been introduced to restrict voters` rights - disproportionately impacting those of us that live at the intersections of disability and marginalized racial identities.
What’s happening in your state?
