UCE UUtheVote 2022: The Time is Now, the Outcome is Critical

How about a trip up to Racine with Friends?

Help ‘Get Out The Vote’ by distributing information to voters in Racine. Training, snacks and drinks will be provided, no prior experience needed! Coordinated by Racine Interfaith Coalition. (Thanks to our friends at Olympia Brown UU for this connection!) A special opportunity this Saturday, August 27 but many more days available!
Use this link to get on their volunteer list and see dates when volunteers are needed each week. Then gather a couple of friends and help Wisconsin vote!

Reclaim Our Vote writes only to people of color who are generally not contacted by Democratic party operatives. They are traditionally the forgotten voters, particularly in rural communities.

ROV gets results!

In Petersburg Va in 2021 CFCG contacted black voters without phones with handwritten postcards, emphasizing issues in the community and encouraging them to vote. Voter turnout was 43% – great numbers for folks who don’t usually vote!  In Onslow, NC in 2019, 23% of purged voters who received a postcard letting them know they were no longer on the voting rolls re-registered. Once folks re-register they likely vote! Pick up your post card pack at the back of the sanctuary Sunday, or contact Carolyn Laughlin (REALM or admin@ucevanston.org)

Support Democracy With a Trip to Milwaukee: Wisconsin voters will make critical decisions, impacting the entire country, this November. Folks sharing our UU values are working hard to register every voter aligned with us. Several DMV offices in Milwaukee are fabulous places to support these voters. Contact Greg Grabowski (REALM or admin@ucevanston.org) for simple, quick training and more info.

Keep Your Eye on the Illinois Supreme Court: Our Supreme Court has a direct impact on our criminal justice system. Help ensure these judges share our UU values. Sign up to write postcards to voters about the IL Supreme Court elections, https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScy1jg_4NHg6zCdiKYti0RLsT8zwryv80ZYjd_pVoY3YDpvcg/viewform
