For many, mail-in voting, early voting, and secure drop boxes represent new ways to make their voices heard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat it\u2019s all about is getting companies to work together to support the faith and trust in elections and really inspire every American to participate in shaping our country\u2019s future,\u201d said Civic Alliance Director Steven Levine.<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Other organizations that have joined the Alliance include Major League Baseball, Target, PayPal, Microsoft, and many others in technology, retail, sports, and entertainment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">For our part, Phone.com encourages participation by providing paid time off to vote and offering a full day of paid time off for employees who volunteer to be a poll worker.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We believe the United States&#8217; strength lies in its people, each with the power and the potential to shape the future of our country.
