Take Action:

    Our 2020 team has updated our voter information page to answer your important questions during the ongoing pandemic. Check out our new resources to learn about mail-in voting, volunteering and advocacy opportunities, and tips for healthy voting.

  2. Update Your Registration with When We All Vote!

    Make sure your registration is up to date! We’re putting the tools to get registered in your hands so that once you’ve registered, you can empower others in your family, at your school, or in your community. Check out these tools at When We All Vote to get registered!

  3. Write Letters to Voters with Vote Forward!

    Writing letters to potential voters is an effective and healthy way to encourage registration and voter turn-out. Take Action by leading a postcard writing campaign as an individual or with your pod. Sign up with our partners at Vote FWD to learn how to obtain postcards, find sample scripts, and get contact information for potential voters. VoteFWD is an evidence-based organization and has demonstrated that reaching out to registered voters right before an election works!
