UUtheVote Launches Soon: March 25, 2022
This year UCE’s UUtheVote team has a 40,000 Points of Love initiative that we will live into through our partnerships with the UUA Side With Love Organizing Strategy Team, Unitarian Universalist Advocacy Network of Illinois (UUANI), Reclaim Our Vote (ROV), and local non-partisan non-profits organizing around getting out the vote and voting our values!
Shirley Adams is our lead organizer. We will be engaging in the following 4 areas:
- Get Out The Vote (postcard and letter writing from home or in small groups), led by Carolyn Laughlin.
- Voter Registration (in-person at various locations).
- Advocacy/Education Virtual (phone banking or text banking).
- Values Conversations (in-person at community locations or door-to-door).
What can you do?
- Contact Carolyn Laughlin if you are interested in working on the Get Out The Vote work.
- Contact me or Shirley Adams if you are interested in working with Shirley to organize one of our voter registration, advocacy/education, or values conversations areas.
- Attend the UUA Side With Love Organizing Strategy Team’s UUtheVote Launch, on Sunday, April 10 at 3:00 pm CT. This 90-minute live webinar will feature UUA President Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray, state partners, and the new UU the Vote Campaign Manager. Learn how UUtheVote is going deeper into values-based conversation, showing up for ballot measures to combat voter suppression, fight for reproductive justice, and resist the criminalization of BIack, Indigenous, and people of color communities.

Unitarian Universalists understand that democracy is a process and a practice. It is one way we live our values out in the world. Join us!
