John,
In 2023, 14 states enacted 17 voter suppression laws to make it much more difficult for vulnerable communities to register and to vote.1 These bills disproportionately impact communities of color, low-income communities, LGBTQ+ communities, and rural communities.
There is so much at stake this November and the presidential and congressional elections will have a huge impact on our ability to invest in human needs in 2025 and beyond—in education, housing, health care and many other critically needed programs, and whether the right to vote will be protected.
At the Coalition on Human Needs, our Voter Engagement Team is hard at work recruiting volunteers from all over the country to contact eligible voters in states such as Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin to make sure they’re able to have their voices heard at the ballot box.
We can’t afford to have a low-turnout presidential election. That’s why we’re starting early, reaching out to infrequent voters in critical states, educating folks about what’s at stake and encouraging them to make their voices heard.
Power our campaign to turn out infrequent voters with a contribution $5 or more and fight back against attempts to suppress the vote of communities of color, low-income communities, LGBTQ+ communities, and rural communities.
DONATE
We’re gearing up for our largest voter engagement campaign yet. In 2024, we’re once again joining our partners at Vote Forward and Vote Riders to ensure that no eligible voter is left behind. Our program will include:

Two online letter writing parties a month with Vote Forward and Vote Riders

Continuous letter writing opportunities for those who can’t make our parties
-
Nonstop volunteer recruitment for ongoing text banking, phone banking, and letter writing opportunities
-
We will host one voter ID clinic per month
-
Each month up until Election Day, we will host voter engagement presentations for service providers
-
Utilize TikTok to reach and engage young voters
Your support today will help us ensure that every eligible voter will have the resources they need and the ability to make their voices heard at the ballot box.
