Michelle Obama shared a message on her official Instagram account, encouraging women of color to get

out and vote.

“Women of color know how to get things done for our families, our communities,

and our country.

When we use our voices, people listen. When we lead, people follow.

And when we do it together, there’s no telling what we can accomplish.

Join me and make sure that our sisters, our children, our congregations, and

our neighbors are registered to vote. Register to vote and join us for the

@When We All Vote Week of Action: we all.vote/week of action.”
