UPDATE FOR 5/18/21: We’ve added a few important resources ahead of the May 18th primary election! For more information, check out A Closer Look at the Philadelphia Ballot (jump to section). Strangely, we weren’t expecting the issue of voter suppression to have changed so rapidly between November 2020 and now—YIKES!—so please note that some of the resources in that section may not reflect the most up-to-date information.

As part of our ongoing commitment towards conscientious activism and anti-racism, TMoms will be using this space, as well as our social media pages, to aggregate resources & information regarding:
- Registering to vote
- Requesting a mail-in ballot
- Voting infrastructure and accessibility
- Voter suppression, disenfranchisement, and rights restoration
- Gerrymandering, prison gerrymandering, and fair representation
- How to stay active during a global pandemic (1, 2, 3)
- Mutual aid, virtual activism, civil disobedience, & MORE!
No radical movement begins or ends with voting, but voting is a necessary & individual choice with a complicated historical significance. Voting is a privilege, and we must use that privilege along with activism & community care to help the most vulnerable among us.
This space is a work in progress. If you’d like to bring additional resources to our attention, feel free to email us.
