Reader. Voter. Ready Initiative

[NELA Member At Large 1]

Hi, all,

Please see the information below about ALA's new "Reader. Voter. Ready." initiative, which is meant to improve voter engagement as the election approaches.

As you know, ALA has launched Reader. Voter. Ready. 
We have created state-specific GIFs to promote the Reader. Voter. Ready. campaign. State GIFs:  ALA Chapter GIFs
You can use this gif throughout the election season, along with out other voter engagement graphics, which you can find at the RVR homepage.
We are three months out from National Voter Registration Day, which will be a major call to action. You can use these graphics in social media posts requesting participation in NVRD leading up to the event on September 17. Sample copy for general RVR posts as well as NVRD-specific ones can be found below.
We hope all chapters will be able to share this campaign on their socials and email lists.
Please remember to use the hashtag #RVR when sharing on Instagram, Facebook, Linkedin or X.
