At Twilio, the company believes that democracy depends on every eligible voter being able to easily cast a ballot, just like hailing a ride with their phone; polling places should be as close as a bag of Doritos and a cola. However, legislation in 47 US states may prevent voters from having this fair opportunity, which runs counter to Twilio's commitment to become an antiracist company working towards equity in voting laws. To address this, Twilio is taking three key actions: encouraging others to support voting access, funding organizations increasing voter participation, and providing tools to increase voter engagement and empowerment. This includes employee donations matching up to $200,000 for Black Voters Matter Fund and The New Georgia Project, as well as launching Voices for Democracy in 2017 to advance discourse between people and elected officials. Companies like Twilio recognize that voter participation isn't a partisan issue but is essential for ensuring the government reflects the will of the people; they must work together to reinforce the electoral process and ensure the freedom and fairness of future elections for all Americans.
