Representative Government

Representative Government

Promote an open governmental system that is representative, accountable, and responsive.

We are committed to ensuring that all voters are able to safely and securely cast their ballot during the COVID-19 pandemic. We want to support individuals and community partners who are also committed to this work! New strategies are needed to register voters and get out the vote in 2020, because in-person registration events and candidate forums are much more difficult. 

We are developing an array of resources to inform and mobilize voters for the 2020 elections,
including virtual candidates forums and this Get-Out-the Vote toolkit.

Blog Post

August 18, 2020 is the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment. We honor each person who fought for the amendment through the 1800s and early 1900s. We also recognize that the 19th Amendment was just the starting point, not the destination.
