UUCR the Vote
UUCR The Vote, working through a partnership with the national UU The Vote and the Center for Common Ground, provides a meaningful way for congregants to promote democratic values and engage in nonpartisan get-out-the-vote efforts. UUCR’s Social Justice Committee and the Share the Plate program provides funding to offset the cost of postcards, stamps and other basic supplies. Using voter lists and scripts provided by the Center for Common Ground’s Reclaim Our Vote (ROV) campaigns, congregants contact registered voters in target states, informing marginalized people about issues at stake in their state’s election and how to obtain more information about voting in their specific counties.
