We are so grateful for UUs who are already engaged with election work this year. In addition to our national electoral justice work, UU the Vote will be working on priority states in which there’s an opportunity for us to help coalitions to win on the issues so important to our faith. Our priority states for UU the Vote 2024 are Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Wisconsin. (Learn more about our plans for 2024 with our launch guide if you haven’t seen it yet!)
We’re kicking off the start of a powerful organizing season in Georgia – and everyone is invited! If you’re in Georgia, we hope you’ll join some of the in person events during our Week of Action – and everyone is invited to our first national phonebank! Read on to learn more about both events and get the recording for our first community gathering earlier this month!
