Dear League Leaders, all League Members and Friends:
We have a plan: It is clear that each and every one of us can do something to right our tilting ship and repair our tattered democracy.
We have a National plan: LWVUS has published 100 Days & 100 Ways to Get Ready for Election Day. Number 76 on the list urges you to call your Senators at 1-888-415-4527 to ask them to include $4 billion in funding to secure our elections in the next stimulus package. Encourage your friends and family in other states do the same!
We have a California plan: LWVC started promoting the Secretary of State’s voter information campaign, Vote Safe California. This year, all Californians will receive their ballots by mail so they can avoid the polls and stay safe. Visit vote.ca.gov to learn more, update your registration, and get prepared to make your vote.
We are building a local plan: Coming soon - our local plan for the LWVDV. What a relief and so motivating to finally be getting close to an election which will have so much impact on our troubled democracy. We know how to do this! We can help our communities to accomplish unprecedented voter registration and foster significant voter turnout with well-informed voters.
It's going to take a willingness to work safely and to learn the new online techniques of providing voter information through Zoom and Google Meets and Webinars and social media. We can strengthen our communities through outreach designed with diversity, equity, and inclusion in mind. (See Voter Services to learn more.)
Our plan depends on all of us to participate in some way that’s right for you and our communities:
- Watch for our emails and social media posts and follow up as requested. We will provide training and scripts when applicable!
- Take action! Follow the LWVUS 100 Ways and participate as you choose.
We look forward to hearing from you about activities and voter services we plan!
Call our office (925-283-2235) or send an email (lwvdv [at] lwvdv.org - new email address) if you have questions.
Suzan Requa, LWVDV President
