But what can I really do?
It is easy to feel insignificant on Election Day. You turn on the news, watch millions of ballots being counted, and wonder: Does my one vote really make a difference?
That is a lie from the enemy.
God has worked through faithful people who were willing to stand up, speak out, and act— even when their influence seemed small. After all, even snowflakes can shut down an airport if enough of them band together. God is not finished using His people, and it is a privilege to offer our election participation back to His redemptive plan.
Our responsibility does not end at the ballot box; it starts there.
For years, Concerned Women for America leaders and members have worked to encourage Christians across the nation to embrace their civic responsibility by registering voters, mobilizing their communities, and serving as poll workers and poll watchers. Thanks to these efforts, CWA has achieved successes for life, families, religious liberty, and other areas, aligning with the interests of officials elected by the people. We have also encouraged Americans to become poll workers and watchers, helping to guarantee a fair and secure election.
Your support this election season is more important than ever! We just celebrated our nation’s 250th birthday, and this fall we will once again engage in an election to set the tone for the next 250 years. We need your help to spur on the American spirit and get out the vote!
