I'm voting because of the climate crisis

This election, we have a chance to build this America for all of us.

Dear MoveOn member,

This is actor and activist Mark Ruffalo, and I want to share why I'm voting early this election.

Mar, I want to live in an America where the climate crisis and climate policy are taken seriously, where our leadership has a clear plan to move us through a pandemic of unprecedented proportions, and where people can make the right choices for their own bodies and reproductive futures. I want to live in an America where my immigrant neighbors can live with dignity, where Black lives are valued and protected, and where our leaders aren't constantly trying to take health care away from tens of millions of Americans.

This election, we have a chance to build this America for all of us. But we can build this future together only if we all use our power and vote—and then encourage everyone we know to be a voter, vote early, and vote in-person if they can.

Are you the next voter in New York? Look up your polling location to make a plan to vote early or on November 3.

In the first presidential debate, Joe Biden said, "If you're able to vote early, vote early. If you're able to vote in person, vote in person." This is good advice.

More than 30 million Americans have already voted early in this election. This record-breaking turnout gives me hope that we have an opportunity to win this thing outright. We have so many reasons to be optimistic. We have the numbers on our side, a vision for justice and equality, and hope that we can build a better future together—but above all, we have dedicated progressive voters like you, ready to vote early across America.

Voting early in person is a good way to ensure sure your vote is received on time and processed securely. Donald Trump and Republicans are trying every dirty trick in the book to stop votes from Democrats from being cast. Voting early in person is a great way to get your vote in now.

States are taking real precautions to ensure voting is safe—including ensuring social distancing, masks, and regular disinfecting. Even if you have already requested your mail-in ballot, most states allow you to vote early in person or drop off your ballot in person—which avoids any challenges to your ballot later.

Make your plan to vote. Look up your polling place for early voting or Election Day voting, or where to drop off your ballot here.

Making a plan to vote is key to successfully casting a ballot, and you can be the person who helps your friends ensure their voices are heard this election. We know for a fact that people are more likely to vote when they are asked by friends or family. It's time to talk to your friends and family about voting, especially if they live in battleground states.

Sign up here to get three people in your life fired up about voting by November 3.

Together, we can use our votes to transform our communities.

Thanks for all you do.

—Mark Ruffalo
