Dear John,
In case you missed it...this week the Voices for Human Needs blog reports on CHN's efforts to promote democracy by encouraging people to vote. First we examine Vote Forward, an innovative program that has resulted in hundreds of thousands of volunteers writing letters to millions of potential voters. And we promote Vote Early Day, set for Friday, October 28. Please share!

Vote Forward: Voter engagement with a more personal touch
October 19
The Coalition on Human Needs does not, and by law cannot, endorse candidates for partisan office. This is because, like many of the groups we partner with, our nonprofit tax status does not allow it. But what we can do, In keeping with our mission to lift up low-income and other vulnerable populations, is to encourage people to vote. And so CHN is a proud partner of a broad-based national effort to encourage voter turnout by participating in Vote Forward, a campaign to recruit volunteers to send millions of letters to potential voters in underserved communities in key states.

Friday, October 21 is Vote Early Day.

CHN believes in the power of mobilizing everyone to get involved in democracy, whether it’s ensuring that those who can vote do vote, encouraging people to support democracy in as many activities as possible beyond casting their own ballot, (like election protection or poll greeting). As part of this effort, CHN is promoting Vote Early Day, which this election cycle falls on Friday, October 28, the Friday before Halloween. CHN’s partnership with Vote Early Day encourages current and potential voters to register to vote and make a plan to vote early – studies show that people who make a plan to vote are much more likely to do so.
