We're asking business leaders across America to join us in ensuring all employees are able to exercise their right to vote and have the proper tools and means necessary to do so. A stable democracy benefits employees, customers, business and society. What's more, Black and Hispanic Americans were more likely than White Americans to face challenges getting the time off from work to vote. And other barriers to voting — such as voter identification requirements and voter registration restrictions — continue to disproportionately impact communities of color. Warby Parker and Business for America are also partnering with local organizations focused on overcoming barriers to voting and increasing turnout in communities with historically low voter participation.
