Get Out the Vote

Across the country, people are feeling the weight of this moment.

Families seeking refuge face uncertainty, and welcoming communities are stretched. Many of us are tired, but still believe in the power of our democracy. Even in difficult times, we stand on the edge of real possibility.

As we look ahead to November,  we encourage you to make a plan to vote, learn about candidates’ positions on issues that matter to you, and reflect on how those positions align with America’s long tradition of welcoming newcomers.

We hope these resources will be useful for you this election season and help you to show up with confidence, clarity, and hope.
