The Our Homes, Our Votes: 2022 webinar series features experts with frontline election experience to walk through every step of voter and candidate engagement activities and support housing organizations’ nonpartisan election efforts. The next webinar, “Countdown to Election Day: GOTV, Election Protection, and Post-Disaster Ballot Access,” will be held today (Monday, October 31) at 2:30 pm ET. Register for the webinar series here.
Election Day is an all-hands-on-deck effort to get voters to the polls and the culmination of months of voter registration, education, and mobilization activities. Panelists will review the most effective Election Day Get Out the Vote (GOTV) tactics, such as coordinating rides to the polls, hosting community walks to the polls, bringing snacks and music to keep people in line at busy polling locations, and recruiting volunteers to follow up with those who have not yet voted. Panelists will also discuss election protection efforts to prevent the harmful impact of voter intimidation campaigns, which are often intended to deter low-income people and communities of color from voting, and cover strategies for preserving voter access in the aftermath of a natural disaster. The panel will feature Morgan Conley, national coordinator for Election Protection at the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law; Blake Tyler, voting rights organizer at the Granite State Organizing Project; and Jesse Burns, executive director of the League of Women Voters of New Jersey.
Our Homes, Our Votes webinars will be held on a biweekly basis until the week that follows the 2022 midterm elections. View the full schedule for the webinar series and the archive of past webinar recordings here.
