Leila W.'s Sticker

This sticker says that my voice matters.

During the 2000 Presidential election, I watched all my friends head to the polls while I spent the entire day watching news and feeling powerless.

I spent most of my life living in the US but this was the first time I truly felt like an outsider. I knew I needed to take action if I wanted my voice to be heard.

Since becoming an American, I've voted in every local and national election with pride for this country. I encourage others to learn about voting rights and participate in voter registration drives. Voting is a right that we should all exercise when we can.
