The May Voter Registration Weekend of Action kicks off today, and volunteers are already out in neighborhoods across the country helping to make sure everyone who can is registered to vote.

Here’s a handful of great ways to get involved this weekend:

1. Events are happening today and tomorrow: use our event look-up tool to find one near you.

2. Can't make it to an event this weekend? Sign up here and we'll let you know next time there's one in your neighborhood.

3. If you've recently moved or your registration isn't up to date visit gottaregister.com.

And, if you're out registering voters this weekend, let us know how it's going using the hashtag #RegToVote on Twitter and for sharing photos on Instagram.

Sarah Jessica Parker is a mom, a philanthropist, an actress, and a business owner—and she knows exactly what's at stake for women and all Americans in this election.

She's been a huge supporter of President Obama for a long time—she was calling voters and pitching in however she could in 2008—and I'm so glad she's back to do it again.

On June 14th, she's hosting a dinner at her home with the President and First Lady.

They're inviting a grassroots supporter like you, and a guest of your choice, to join. Your airfare and accommodations? Covered.

Pitch in $3 or whatever you can today, and you'll be automatically entered to join President Obama, the First Lady, and Sarah Jessica Parker at Sarah Jessica's home in New York City.

If you're picked, I want to hear all about it.

Voter registration drives, like the ones we’ll be holding across the country this weekend, are a great reminder of why I do this: to help people become more civically engaged in their communities and in their country.

My advice for when you’re out there registering voters? Start with a simple question: “Is your voter registration up to date at your current address?” People may have moved, or changed their names. It’s important to ask everyone if they need to re-register, too.

And don’t forget to ask people to sign up to volunteer—but only after they’ve completed their voter registration form!

Put these organizing tips into action—join a voter registration drive near you this weekend.

A new interactive map on romneyeconomics.com shows how Mitt Romney’s business decisions impacted communities across the country. In Colorado alone:

• Denver jobs were lost when SMTC Corporation moved production to Mexico.

• Mattress Discounters closed multiple stores in the Denver area, before declaring bankruptcy.

• Boulder-based NetLibrary cut jobs, before declaring bankruptcy.

• AMF Bowling laid off workers and closed a manufacturing plant.

• An Alliance Entertainment distribution center was closed.

• A Dynamic Details plant in Colorado Springs was closed.

• Stage Stores shuttered clothing stores across the state.

Explore the map to see similar effects in Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Virginia, New Hampshire, Missouri and Florida—then share it with your friends.

President Obama took office in the midst one of the worst financial crises in our history, brought on in large part by the bad bets made by Wall Street banks. That’s why he made tackling risky dealings on Wall Street a priority from day one, and signed the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act into law.

Flip through this slideshow to see some of the ways President Obama’s Wall Street reform is protecting American businesses and families—then use the share buttons to make sure your friends on Facebook and Twitter see it, too.

In a letter to the editor of The Miami Herald yesterday, Cindy Hewitt explained how Romney economics has affected her:

From May 1996 to July 1998, I worked as a human resources manager for Dade Behring, a medical manufacturing firm with facilities in Miami. Every time I read about Mitt Romney citing his business experience—including job creation—as his chief qualification to be president, I’m dumbfounded.

Bain took over a profitable company that provided 850 high-wage jobs in South Florida. We had been told that our plant was the most profitable plant in the company. Instead of building on this success, it closed both South Florida facilities and everyone lost their jobs. Production was moved to Delaware and Germany, and Romney and his business partners made millions in the process.

The reality of Romney’s actions don’t match what he’s saying on the campaign trail.

Sarah Jessica Parker is inviting fellow supporters to spend time with her, President Obama, and the First Lady at her home in New York City:

It's my honor to invite you to take part in an event I'm hosting at my home with the President and First Lady on June 14th.

Just before Election Day in 2008, I went to an Obama campaign office in New York and called some undecided voters. I believed then, as I do now, that if we all chipped in and did our part, we would not only make history, but create meaningful change that so many Americans needed.

For me, this election is even more important than 2008. As a woman, a mother, and an entrepreneur, I need to believe our country can be a place where everyone has a fair shot at success.

This November's election will determine whether we get to keep moving forward, or if we're forced to go back to policies that ask people like my middle-class family in Ohio to carry the burden—while people like me, who don't need tax breaks, get extra help.

I'm hosting this event on June 14th because there is so much at stake this year, and I want to keep doing what I can. I hope you'll help me welcome President Obama and the First Lady to New York. It should be fabulous.

Donate $5 or whatever you can to be automatically entered to win.

Hope to see you there,

Sarah Jessica
