AWTR Show #905: Secure Families Initiative
Are you wondering why you should vote in this year’s election? Secure Families Initiative reminds you that every time you vote, you make a permanent impact (even if your person doesn’t win their election). You shape the voter data in the district where you vote. This says to anyone thinking of running or people thinking of changing policies, that they should care about you because you are the type of person who shows up and votes.
After an anxiety-ridden experience, Sarah Streyder decided she wanted to build an informative and supportive community of military family members, who might go through the same things she did, who could work together to learn more about current events, and who could take action together as voters. Voting is the one time you have control over your life in this military life. And when we better understand the mission (what our sacrifices are contributing to) it helps with morale. So let Secure Families Initiative help you dust off the cobwebs of misunderstanding and take a blowtorch to self-doubt.
