The 2020 election is just days away! OOD and Jess Morales Rocketto (Executive Director of Care in Action) unpack how this year’s election goes beyond checking a box for Biden or Trump; ‘down ballot’ issues and black women running for office // on the ballot. 

OOD and Jess also share resources for voters such as places you can register to vote on election day, and why you should obsess over your registration status.
