Voting: Our Constitutional Rights and Responsibilities 

With the launch of our 2026 ClassACT HR73 Voting Initiative, we hope to motivate citizens to head to the polls and engage in the crucial democratic process of voting. ClassACT has assembled a 2026 VOTING RESOURCE GUIDE (click this link or scroll down to view) with links to handbooks and web sites to help you exercise your right to vote. You can share this guide as an attached PDF via email, through social media, or by scanning the QR code below and posting it on bulletin boards in your place of work, worship, schools, your gym…basically any and everywhere!

We hope you will share these resources with members of your communities. Reach out to citizens who may not be registered as well as those who are registered but feel disenfranchised and think their vote doesn’t matter. Remind them that “Voting is power.”

Environment & Climate Change

Critical environmental protections have recently come under attack and will continue to be assaulted by the Trump Administration and/or in Congress in coming months. The ClassACT HR73 Environment & Climate Change Working Group has identified two pressing issues where we and our classmates can defend the integrity of science and the laws addressing climate change, biodiversity, and environmental protection. We describe opportunities for concerned individuals to engage. These issues are in flux, so we plan to update this memo periodically.

Justice & Civic Engagement: FREEDOM OF THE PRESS

With the freedom of the press under assault on multiple fronts, ClassACT HR73’s Justice and Civic Engagement Committee has launched a new initiative to safeguard this cherished liberty. The constitutional freedom that permits citizens to scrutinize governments and to hold elected officials accountable, and that allows journalists to report local, national and international news, is under threat. The time has come to protest these incursions and to protect the First Amendment and our democracy. The committee will be writing articles, putting on programming, and working on internal projects with this goal in mind.
