ONE VOTE
One Vote is a short, PG-rated film that offers a hopeful, human look at American democracy through the real stories of diverse voters. After the screening, we’ll write thank-you cards to election officials to honor their tireless work. The film focuses on personal Election Day experiences rather than politics, making it both moving and relatable.
Share Your Gratitude: After the screening, write thank-you cards to election officials to honor their tireless work.
