Wag the Vote is Dog Podcast Network's non-partisan initiative to encourage voter registration and participation. We’re starting in the United States, but our hope is to expand this across the globe and encourage dog lovers all over to participate in their local and national elections.
Democracy is better when we exercise our right to vote. If dogs could vote, they would.
Dogs Bring Out Our Best
Dogs bring out the best in humans.
And woof! Look around...
It seems like right now in America there has never been a better time to bring out that best in people.
We're all aware of how polarized our politics have become ... and of the many problems we face as a community, nation, and planet.
Sometimes it feels insurmountable. It's easy to get down, discouraged, and apathetic.
But as any dog lover knows, it's hard to stay down when you have a dog by your side. Dogs get us up to take a walk and insist on playtime and cuddles.
And dogs can help us turn out the vote.
How Your Dog Can Help You Get Out the Vote
Whether it's a door-to-door registration campaign or simply wearing a "VOTE" bandanna or bringing dogs to polling stations ...your love of dogs and your dog's affection and loyalty could be key to improving voter turnout.
