In just six days, we face an election that will shape the future. We need leaders who understand that the actions we take today determine the world we pass on to our children. By voting, we hold the power to reduce our carbon footprint and slow the rising tides that threaten our coastal communities.
You have a choice: elect leaders who support clean energy and environmental justice, or those who continue policies that endanger our climate and our health. From local to national races, each decision has a ripple effect, impacting not just us, but generations to come.
Voting isn’t just about personal gain; it’s about community, responsibility, and a shared future. We can't claim to care about the environment if we support those who subsidize polluters. We can't say we love our children if we ignore policies that endanger their future.
When you step into the voting booth, remember: while your vote is private, its impact is collective. Choose leaders who envision a world that considers the well-being of all.

In 2020, Xavier Cortada’s ‘Underwater Vote’ project asked participants to use yard signs and ZOOM backdrops to engage fellow voters in conversations to elect candidates who will actually tackle a future impacted by rising seas. Cortada’s ‘Underwater Vote’ installation was on display at University of Miami main campus and at the University of Miami Wynwood Gallery’s faculty show.
