With voter suppression running rampant and threats to the USPS effecting mail-in turnout, it is more important than ever to make your voice heard. But beyond showing up to the polls on November 3rd (or voting early!), you can help encourage people to vote by, well, shopping. Brands like Stuart Weitzman, Levi’s, and more are launching merch that actively encourages everyone to make their vote count. Proceeds from their products will be funneled directly to causes including Black Lives Matter, nonprofits that aim to close the voting gap, and more organizations that will make a difference. Read on to see where to effectively cast your dollars—with Lizzo’s approval, no less—here.
