ACT Encourages You to Make a Difference

 

The Ability Center of Greater Toledo, as a member of the Ohio Disability Votes Coalition, is working to mobilizing people with disabilities to vote in the November 4 election. People with disabilities, the largest minority in the United States, vote the least often of any minority. If they voted at the same rate as everyone else, people with disabilities would determine the outcome of many elections, and our legislators would have to pay attention to us when making decisions that affect our needs.

YOU CAN HELP!

We would like to hear from you if:

You need help figuring out how to register to vote or where to vote, or finding where to read about issues and candidates.

You would like to vote but are having problems using voting equipment or getting into the buildings used for voting.

Please contact Jessica Weinberg, Get-Out-the-Vote Coordinator at 419-885-5733 or jweinberg@abilitycenter.org
