Despondent about democracy? Enraged about Roe? Harness that energy with UU the Vote, our denomination-wide effort to fight for fair elections, advance voting rights, protect abortion access, and resist the targeting and criminalization of Black, Indigenous, and people of color communities. UUS:E members have already started writing letters to traditionally under-represented voters urging them to vote. It’s quick, easy, and something you can do from home.
Sign up through UU the Vote’s partner organization, Vote Forward, at voteforward.org. They’ll provide print-ready letters encouraging voter participation along with names/addresses. You print the letters, add a brief handwritten personal message, and address and stamp the envelopes. We’ll mail our letters in late October for maximum effect.
There’s one more step. In order to be counted as part of UUS:E’s effort to UU the Vote, please email: Maude McGovern at [email protected]. She will also provide tips and answer questions.
And if all this sounds familiar, it’s because in 2020 UUS:E members and friends wrote almost 6,000 (yes, 6,000!) letters. Join us in 2022!
Please know also that UU the Vote has many resources and ideas on getting involved with voter turnout for the 2022 midterm elections. Explore their website here.
