No matter who you support in the upcoming election, what matters most is that you vote. Everyone eligible should be encouraged to register, and no one’s voice should be suppressed. That’s true democracy, right?
Which is why we support non-partisan Vote.org and give our team extra paid time off to get to the polls on November 5th.
At Prosperity Candle, we don’t all agree on the issues. That’s normal. But we 100% believe in voting and are adamantly against anything that restricts voting rights or makes it harder for citizens to vote. Instead, we should be making it easier.
This year we are supporting Vote.org with a special Vote 2024 Collection because their goal is to make voting more accessible to all Americans. What could be more patriotic than that? Count us in!
With every purchase from this collection, we donate 25%.
The Importance of Voting
Here’s the thing. Voting is more than simply casting a ballot. It’s how we shape the future. When you vote, you are choosing leaders and policies that will impact your life and the lives of people you care about.
When voter turnout is high, government better represents the interests of the entire population. But when people don’t vote, things become skewed, favoring those who do. Is that what any of us really want?
So if you don’t always vote, or never voted… guess what you should do this November? That’s right, vote!
And as Taylor Swift posted, “Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered!” Then some 400,000 fans went and registered at vote.gov.
An Optimistic Vision of the Future
Here in our studio there are differing views about many things. But as an organization that helps refugees from places of conflict around the world, we strongly believe in building a brighter future for everyone, everywhere. It’s what we’ve always advocated.
So when candidates use words like carnage and talk about the end of democracy, it troubles us. This is not what we believe, not who we are, and not a path forward we can embrace.
Which is why we find Kamala Harris’ message so refreshing. It’s optimistic and inclusive. She speaks of a country where the dignity of work is honored, opportunity is within reach for everyone, and communities can thrive through shared prosperity. That’s what we believe.
We also appreciate the sense of joy Kamala Harris has brought to the campaign trail. It’s positive and hopeful, which is how we feel about the future. And we love the story about the Coconut Tree – it made us laugh so much we had to create a Coconut Tree Candle with our favorite coconut scents.
And we couldn't resist repurposing for the Vote 2024 Collection our Love That Cat Candle, Joy Gift Tote, and our Joy Candle, Joy Room Spray and Joy Diffuser from our Solidarity Collection... they kind of fit the moment!
So don't forget
Whoever you support in this election, we hope you agree that this is not the time to sit out. Voting is your power... use it!
