Mobilizing Voters for the 2016 Elections Toolkit and Archive
UUSJ is breaking new ground with the only UU multi-state voter mobilization effort in the nation. This initiative is grounded in our UU faith and the Fifth Principle, which supports the democratic process in our lives. With support from the Fund for UU Social Responsibility, UUSJ is working with congregations and partner organizations in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia to register voters and encourage them to participate in the November elections.
Through this initiative, UU congregations are building congregation-based Voter Mobilization teams and activating members to volunteer at voter registration and canvassing activities across the region.
We welcome all UU congregations in the national capital area to participate in this initiative, which provides a range of opportunities for congregations and individuals to engage in voter mobilization for this important election year. Please contact Anna Rhee, rheeoh(at)gmail.com, if you’re interested in partnering with us.
