ELECTION SEASON KICKOFF EVENT: Let’s Empower Voters Together!
Kim Knox | Published on 10/1/2023
Empowering voters is the heart of what we do, and surveys show it’s the main reason people support the League. With that in mind, we’re expanding our activism opportunities this election season to enable everyone to participate in voter empowerment activities at the level of their choosing.
To learn about our new approach to activism, please attend our kickoff meeting on Monday, October 23 at 6pm on Zoom. You’ll meet Jane, our new candidate forum co-chair, who will discuss upcoming events and how you can get involved. You’ll also hear from Julie Ann about our online voter guide, Voter's Edge, for those of you who enjoy research and tech tasks. Jeanne will update you on March ballot measures (if any), voter registration, and other important activities.
The primary election is scheduled for March 5, 2024. Voter Empowerment volunteering will extend only through the election season, when we will focus on activities that help close the voter participation gap, including newly-enfranchised voters who are on parole or in jail.
For context, you’ll hear from LWVC board member and past president of LWV San Francisco, Ashley Raveche, who will discuss the League’s advocacy to FREE THE VOTE (ACA 6 and Prop 17, which restored voting rights for people on parole).
After we’ve wrapped up our great work, we’ll all celebrate with a post-election volunteer appreciation event!
Share this opportunity with your friends and make time to attend our kickoff event Oct. 23!
