Let’s create a future where everyone’s voice counts! Research shows that having people make a concrete plan to vote—when and how—significantly increases voter turnout. This is especially important for our community. The goal of our partners at the Northeast Ohio Coalition of Disability Organizations (NOCDO) is to increase voter participation among people with disabilities. Spread the word and encourage each other to plan ahead. #NOCDO #CuyahogaCounty #DisabilityInclusion #EveryVoteMatters
