Vote, of course, but you could do moreThe November 3 presidential election is the most crucial vote in recent memory. Many non-partisan efforts to encourage voter registration, participation and turnout offer you the opportunity to do more.
Some of the organizations behind these efforts are seeking your support as both volunteers and financial contributors. For now the COVID-19 is limiting the person-to-person contacts, so efforts are directed to telephone calls, mailings, and on-line outreach, including for the August 11 primary. |
Following are groups that are actively promoting citizen participation in the elections. In the months ahead, UNA-GM will mention other groups that come to our attention in future newsletters and on our website.
