Democrats have a shot at winning control of Congress in November — and that’s why we have to do everything in our power to get our family, friends, and neighbors to turn out the vote and vote blue on November 6.

Reason #21 why you should vote: your vote matters.

Reason #20 why you should vote: workers shouldn’t have to choose between earning a paycheck and spending time with their newborn or taking care of a sick family member. It’s time for paid family and sick leave policies.

Reason #19 why you should vote: so immigrants aren’t forced into the shadows. We are a stronger nation because of our diversity.

Reason #18 why you should vote: to elect a Congress that will pass legislation to protect Dreamers. They are Americans in every way except on paper. It’s time we honor our promise to them and give them a permanent solution so they can live up to their full potential.

Reason #17 why you should vote: so violence against women and children is taken more seriously everywhere — from the courts to Congress.

Reason #16 why you should vote: to elect leaders on November 6 who will address the affordable housing crisis.

Reason #15 why you should vote: to raise the federal minimum wage. With costs of living skyrocketing, you can’t live off of $7.25 an hour. It’s time to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour.

Reason #14 why you should vote: LGBTQ rights. No one should be denied work, service, a place to live, or the opportunity to serve their country because of who they are or who they love.

Reason #13 why you should vote: campaign finance reform. Special interests and large corporations have spent millions to buy elections. It’s time to get big money out of politics.

Reason #12 why you should vote: to elect politicians who will help provide teachers with the tools and resources they need to do their job — educating our students.

Reason #11 why you should vote: to strengthen Social Security and Medicare. Every American deserves the ability to retire with dignity.

Reason #10 why you should vote: so our nation’s daughters grow up knowing their work is worth just as much as our sons. We need to make equal pay for equal work a reality.

Reason #9 why you should vote: for criminal justice reform. One of the first steps to reforming our broken criminal justice system is by replacing our bail system.

Reason #8 why you should vote: to keep families together.

Reason #7 why you should vote: to ensure that everyone has the ability to breathe clean air and live in a safe and healthy environment.

Reason #6 why you should vote: to decriminalize marijuana at the federal level. Too many lives have been ruined because of our regressive policies.

Reason #5 why you should vote: to protect Roe v. Wade.
