Event Overview

Briefing Vote for Change

Community organizing to achieve specific gains for neighborhoods and disadvantaged populations is often linked to efforts to register and turn out low-propensity voters. There are a few reasons for that: The practice of knocking on doors and actively engaging with communities, fundamental to successful labor and community organizing, is equally crucial in electoral mobilization. Also, demonstrating how electoral participation directly connects to tangible outcomes -including electing policymakers who will help/defend gains or changing a policy maker who doesn’t- serves as a powerful means to illustrate to individuals that their votes matter.

Our panelists work in communities across the country and will talk about how the power of the vote can help generate change.
