Raise Your Voice: Time for the Midterms

Every election is a chance to shape the future, and sometimes a powerful reminder arrives unexpectedly.

This week, the cast of Hamilton released a special video, "2026: Time for the Midterms," in partnership with When We All Vote and in recognition of National Voter Registration Day. The message is simple but important: our voices matter, and voting is one of the most meaningful ways we can make them heard.

At DWCNV, we believe civic engagement begins long before Election Day. It starts with staying informed, having conversations, helping neighbors understand the issues, and ensuring everyone eligible has the opportunity to participate in our democracy.

The energy and creativity of this video remind us that voting is not just a responsibility. It is a privilege that generations before us fought to secure. Whether this will be your first election or your fiftieth, every ballot contributes to the story of our communities and our country.

As we look ahead to the 2026 midterm elections, now is the perfect time to:

• Confirm your voter registration status.

• Encourage friends and family members to register and vote.

• Learn about the candidates and issues that will appear on your ballot.

• Make a plan for Election Day.

The future is shaped by those who show up.

Watch the video below and let it inspire you to take the next step toward participation, engagement, and action.
