Community Advocacy 101
Welcome! Thanks for taking the first step in turning out voters through Raising Voters’ community organizing program, powered by We Are Voters.
This four-module program teaches you how to take the influence you have within your community and use it to turn out voters through relational organizing and community advocacy.
Once you’ve completed all four modules and corresponding quizzes, you will have access to additional tools, including a shared Google spreadsheet for RSVPs, your personal voter registration link, social media templates, and much more.
We’re excited to work with you!
