We’re grassroots organizers who, together, have registered hundreds of thousands of voters - ahead of National Voter Registration Day, AMA!

Posted: 17 Sep 2020 09:04 AM PDT

National Voter Registration Day is a nonpartisan civic holiday celebrating our democracy. First observed in 2012, it quickly gained momentum and 8 years later, nearly 3 million voters have registered to vote on the holiday.

We represent a cross-section of the hundreds of grassroots organizations on the ground in communities across the county that are ensuring every eligible voter is registered and ready to vote. COVID-19 has made registering to vote extraordinarily difficult for many voters, so we're breaking things down here.

Local organizations participating in today's AMA:

Charlie Bonner from Move Texas: MOVE Texas is a nonpartisan, nonprofit, grassroots organization building power in underrepresented youth communities through civic education, leadership development, and issue advocacy. -Maria Bruno from COHHIO (Coalition on Homelessness and Housing in Ohio): Statewide GOTV program for underserved ohioans
Devin Ruiz from Next Up: Next Up aplifies the voices and leadership of diverse people to achieve a more just and equitable state. We do this by achieving systems change, developing bold leaders, and mobilizing young voters. We are based out of Portland, Oregon.
Matthew Pitt from NYC Votes: NYC Votes is the voter outreach and engagement campaign of the Campaign Finance Board, conducted under the guidance of its Voter Assistance Advisory Committee. Under the NYC Votes banner, the Campaign Finance Board registers citizens to vote, showcases opportunities to get involved in civic life, and provides New Yorkers with the information they need to engage meaningfully in the electoral process.
Kevin Shanker Sinha from CivicGeorgia: CivicGeorgia strives to amplify the voice, frequency, and impact of community-led efforts for progress through advocacy initiatives and collaborating with grassroots movements. We act to achieve equity and justice through and in civic engagement.
Nancy Batista from Poder Latinx: Poder Latinx is dedicated to build a political wave where the Latinx community plays a key role in the transformation of our country, where immigrants, Latinx and other people of color are decision-makers of our democracy.
