Join the Workers Circle and the Center for Common Ground for our monthly training on how to be an effective citizen advocate.

You’ll be equipped with knowledge about a key federal bill, a letter that you can customize and deliver to your legislators, and best practices for setting up, visiting, and following up with Members of Congress. No experience is necessary!

Poll workers are critical to helping maintain safe in-person voting for communities without reliable access to mail service, voters with disabilities, voters who need language assistance, or voters who simply want to cast their ballot in person as they always have. Poll workers help ensure early voting and facilitate nonpartisan assistance at the polls. Support the process of democracy! Sign up to be a poll worker.

Gather your friends, family, and neighbors to act and reflect on our democracy together. Learn more here.

The Workers Circle is committed to grassroots and direct action as we fight to ensure free and fair elections and strengthen our democracy.  Sign up for our social justice list to receive the Activist Update, and never miss a chance to join us at a protest or rally.

Postcard, phonebank and text bank to combat racist voter suppression laws

We work in partnership with the Center for Common Ground, a people of color-led organization that fights voter suppression and empowers underserved communities to connect voters of color with the information they need to vote by mail and to vote early in person. Our calls, texts, and postcards to voters of color support grassroots efforts by the NAACP, Black Voters Matter, and Mi Familia Vota.

Write letters to the Editor.

Lawmakers pay close attention to their local newspapers as do your neighbors. Writing a letter to the editor is a great way to educate the public and to insist on a democracy that works for all. Check out our state voting rights toolkit which has a sample letter, information on why federal voting rights legislation is needed, as well as links to learn about your state’s voting rights laws and pending legislation.
