We know there is never enough time to do what you HAVE to do each day, much less to learn more about the issues that concern you.

As a result, many women, especially unmarried women, do not vote in national elections and make their voices heard in our democracy.

Yet our government is making decisions every day that affect women's lives, and our leaders' priorities often don't match ours.

When you cast your ballot, you want to be informed.

Sure there is a lot of information out there, but how do you know who to believe?

The National Women's Law Center (NWLC) and Women's Voices have cooperated on a resource to address that concern.

Here you will find a series of short summaries outlining why it's important for women to register and vote - addressing issues like access to health care and education, equal pay and job opportunities, and protecting Social Security.

Check out these materials, and share them with your friends, families, co-workers and neighbors.

Then make sure you go to the polls on Election Day!

NWLC is a non-profit, nonpartisan organization that has been working to advance and protect womenâ¬(TM)s legal rights since 1972.

WVWV is a non-profit, nonpartisan organization that seeks to mobilize women to register to vote and to go to the polls on Election Day.
