September 22 is National Voter Registration Day, and with the 2020 election fast approaching, it's time to get serious about checking your registration status (which you can do online [1]), making a plan to cast your ballot, and spreading the word to, well, anyone who will listen.
Encourageing your family and friends to vote is easy with the help of social media and the internet, but let's not forget about the countless brands that have made it their mission to get involved and take a political stand. This year has taught us a lot of things, and one of them is that there's power in where we spend our money.
To show your voting pride and encourage others to do their civic duty, there's a plethora of beauty voting merchandise [2] out there with a charitable component [3] as well, so you can do good, and look good while doing it. Ahead, we rounded up beauty voting swag that you can wear as proudly as you do your "go vote" t-shirt from now through to November 3.
