STATE ELECTIONS REALLY MATTER!

The Presidential race is not the only upcoming election with considerable, long-term consequences. Many rights are ceded to states, as they determine legislation and funding for education, voting, environmental protections, gun control, infrastructure, health care, and reproductive rights. State legislatures will redraw district maps in 2021, determining state and congressional power for the next decade.

We must energize Democratic voters and elect Democrats to the PA legislature. Get involved and consider joining a PROTECT&ELECT committee. LEARN MORE HERE!

REGISTER NEW CITIZENS TO VOTE

  

The Pennsylvania Immigration and Citizenship Coalition (PICC) has Monday and Friday volunteer slots open to register new citizens to vote after naturalization ceremonies at US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) at 30 N. 41st Street. It is a moving experience to watch the ceremony and register new citizens. In 2019, PICC volunteers registered 8000 new Americans. Sign Up Here

                                                  OR

Register Voters From Home

Volunteer on your own time from home by sending letters and voter registration packets to prospective voters. Write and send 5 packets on your own, or throw a voter registration party and send 100. Vote Forward is planning campaigns for state-level and special elections and laying the groundwork for efforts to win the Presidency and both houses of Congress in 2020.
