UU the Vote
On January 12th, hundreds of UUs from 80 congregations all across the US participated in a webinar to officially launch the UUA's national "UU the Vote" campaign.
And just two weeks later, on January 26th, more than dozen UUs from eight UU congregations in North Carolina met by video/conference call with UU Forward Together and Susan Leslie from the UUA to share information about what UU congregations are doing and are planning to do locally in partnership with others to register voters, educate voters about voting rights and social justice issues, combat voter suppression and gerrymandering, and get voters to the polls in 2020; learn about the resources and support that are available from the UUA and other sources to support our work for electoral justice; and
discuss how UU Forward Together and UUs in North Carolina can partner with others to make a difference in the 2020 elections and beyond.
Going forward, what we're hoping is that we can continue this conversation in a second call and subsequent calls every month; organize a NC "UU the Vote" action team to plan, coordinate, and support our work for electoral justice in 2020 and beyond; identify a number of organizational partners that we can work with; identify at least two or three major statewide or regional electoral justice campaigns; and obtain grant funding from the UUA and other sources to support our work.
But to do that, we need your help, your time, your energy, your ideas, and your commitment.
