Public Service Announcements
LWV partnered with the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) to launch a voter education campaign featuring public service announcements (PSAs). The PSAs encourage citizens to participate in democracy by registering to vote, learning about issues and political candidates, and casting their ballots on or by Election Day. The PSAs direct voters to VOTE411.org and are available in English and Spanish for TV and radio. Leagues may also use these for their own purposes.
Other Videos
The LWV YouTube channel also has short videos about important topics for the 2020 election.

Note: Hashtags help your content enter into larger conversations and garner visibility. Hashtags are most successful on Twitter, and should be used sparingly on Facebook. You should use the hashtag #2020Election—and please consider tagging @LWV, @LWVEdFund, and/or @VOTE411!
You should also use local hashtags specific to your state or community’s elections. For example, #FlaPol or #CAvote. Look on Twitter to see what other folks in your state or area are using!
