GET OUT THE VOTE AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT

In 2012, our leaders began to make voter registration a critical piece of our work.  We believe that everyone in our community who is eligible to register to vote should have the opportunity to do so. Our motto is “Value your vote, vote your values”.

Our leaders have picked up their clipboards and talked to our friends and neighbors in many different places all over the city.  We have talked to young people at L stops, seniors in their apartment buildings, shoppers in grocery stores, and students in their school cafeterias.

We offer trainings to help people feel prepared and comfortable to do this important work. Additionally, we strive to have opportunities for people of all ability levels.

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, we do non-partisan voter registration and voter education.
