While we can teach our kids to tie their shoes and look both ways before crossing the street, we need help in our efforts to clean the air they breathe, protect the public lands we enjoy and make progress in our fight for climate justice. That is why we need government representatives that will work on these issues to help protect our kids.

Voting is our best tool to elect leaders who align with our values and help us create a better future for the next generation.

With Mountain Mamas in Arizona, Colorado and Montana, we’ve put together some key information and dates for each state. Our handy guide can help you prepare so that your vote counts.

Are You Registered?

First things first.

Even if you KNOW you’re registered, it may be worth checking to make sure all of your i’s are dotted and t’s crossed.

Have you changed your name recently? Moved? If so, you will need to update your voter registration.
