Elections are the cornerstone of democracy.

RaisingVoicesUSA works to educate members about the political process in general and about upcoming local, state, and federal elections. We aim to facilitate voter registration and work to provide information about candidates’ platforms and elected officials’ voting records.

Trick or Vote

Trick or Vote is a non-partisan get out the vote initiative inspired by high school students. You already knock doors on Halloween night and ask for candy—this year, do something a little different. Trick or Vote student volunteers go door-to-door (in costume, or not!) on Halloween and remind neighbors to vote. Not headed out on Halloween? Remind others to vote from your home: display Trick or Vote artwork or distribute voting reminders.
