Welcome to our REV UP the Vote series! REV UP stands for Register, Educate, Vote, and Use Your Power!

Your right to vote is your power! Especially when it comes to demographics, such as our friends who live with different abilities, that are under-represented at these crucial voting booths!

In this show series, we empower and educate our friends with different abilities and their loved ones on all they need to know about voting, accessibility in voting, why voting is important, what the different offices up for election are in Oklahoma and why they are important- as well as information about all the candidates up for these different offices (and help you learn/know how to do your own research), and so much more! Every episode is produced inclusively with differently abled self-advocates with a differently abled self-advocates’ voice and perspective participating in the conversation as well!

In this first episode, Lisa, Maggie, and Jacob chat about why voting is important- especially empowering and engaging voters who live with disabilities- and how all our voices and votes matter!
