15 resources for voting

 Some of these are going to be Chicago or Illinois specific, but some will be general (I promise)!

  1. Make a plan to vote.
  2. Check if you are registered to vote.
  3. Vote.gov can help you register to vote if you aren't already.
  4. If you're too young to vote, you can sign up for a reminder for when you can register.
  5. If you want to and still can, register for a mail-in ballot.
  6. InjusticeWatch's Cook County judicial elections guide. It will help you learn about the judges' backgrounds, recommendations, and concerns.
  7. Find a safe ballot box. There will be more coming to the city of Chicago on 10/14.
  8. If you are voting in person, find your polling place.
  9. If you are voting in person, learn what ID (if any) you need to bring.
  10. If you are voting in person, review your state's COVID guidelines.
  11. Know your rights on election day. The ACLU has a great guide.
  12. If someone is interfering with your right to vote (see examples from the ACLU), report it to the Election Protection Hotline at 1-866-OUR-VOTE or 1-888-VE-Y-VOTA (en Español) and/or to your local election officials (find them here).
  13. Look up what will be on your ballot so you can see what and/or whom you want to look into before casting your vote.
  14. Need a ride? On Election Day, Lyft is offering 50% off one ride up to $10 to any polling location or dropbox using the code 2020VOTE*. Uber is helping people find their polling locations with an in-app poll-finding feature and 50% off roundtrip rides to and from the polls (up to $7 each trip), or up to $14 for the two trips. It also applies on Uber's bikes and scooters. 
  15. Sign up for election reminders at vote.org.

I'm angry

I'm angry. And I don't (at the moment) want to be talked out of it. I struggle, often, with expressing or even just sitting with my emotions. I feel like even the photo I chose for this post was more reserved or toned down than how I feel.  But, this is my trying. I'm not going to time this post, just going to write until I feel done, whenever that may be. In this post, I'm going to focus on the anger I feel around my dad and my dad's death. Though, don't get me wrong, I'm also angry about a lot of things going on in my city, in my country, and in the world. My dad chose alcohol over me and my brother. There is no way around this fact. Yes, when I am less angry, I can be more reasonabl and recognize that addiction is a disesase and he didn't have control over it. But, right now, I want to be angry. I want to get to be angry. I want to get to feel my feelings. I don't want to rationalize, I don't want to be reasonable, I don't want to be fair....
