Future Beauty School Students, Make Your Voices Heard!

Most of you looking at cosmetology schools are in the 18-29 age bracket that’s the target of a new campaign, STOPandVOTE, which aims to have elected officials pay attention to the concerns of this demographic by encouraging all of you to register to vote—and then to actually vote! As I tell you often, once you’re in beauty school and part of this wonderful industry, you’re an

adult member of the workforce with all the privileges and responsibilities that the status implies.

The stopandvote.com website is really fun. You can upload any image you want as part of your get-out-the-vote message, and they’ll post it on the STOPandVOTE wall. But first, click on “start” to

find the location of your polling place and learn about your rights as a voter. For example, did you know that most states require employers to give their workers two hours off work on Election Day to go vote?

This year’s election on Tuesday, November 4, is super important because it’s for the U.S. President as well as for various senators and members of the House of Representatives. But I vote even in off-year elections when the only races are local. Do I really care who wins for Water Reclamation Board commissioner? Not so much. Still, before voting, I find out whom my preferred newspapers and websites support. Since you’re researching cosmetology schools, I know you respect yourself and your opinion. STOP and VOTE to let the people who make the laws know what you think.
