How You Can Help Get Out the Vote in Your State

October 15, 2020

All year long, our member groups across the country have been taking care of their communities. They have been advocating for policy change, creating hubs and toolkits to uplift local and statewide resources, and providing support for folks who are most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Now that we are 19 days away from the election, member groups are making sure we are all informed equality voters.

Groups like Georgia Equality, Equality Ohio, and Equality Florida have worked all year to build strong volunteer bases that are now working to help get out the vote in what will be one of the most significant elections in our lifetime. Thanks to Equality Federation’s Project Game Changer, our member groups have received one-on-one training and support on everything from grassroots organizing to running digital campaigns in order to foster year-round community engagement. By helping member groups to build year-round plans, groups now have dedicated volunteers who are giving hundreds of hours of their time to help get out the vote in their states. More voting and engagement from our communities help us all elect leaders who will implement pro-equality policies.

Check out what some of our members are doing to provide you with resources to be an informed voter and to learn more about getting involved in your community. While we as an organization do not endorse candidates, we want to highlight the work our members are doing to promote voting. We can’t do this work without you!
