Civic Ready™ — Build Power

TAKE ACTION
FOR VOTING
RIGHTS

Voting is just the beginning. The real work is building civic power year-round — volunteering, organizing, registering others, and making sure your community shows up at every election.

6 Ways to Build Power

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

Volunteer as a Poll Worker

Poll workers are the backbone of democracy on Election Day. Most counties pay poll workers and desperately need volunteers. Sign up through your local election authority.

Find Opportunities

Phone Bank for Voter Turnout

Make calls to infrequent voters in your community — especially before primary elections when turnout is lowest. Volunteer through Mobilize.

Find Phone Bank Events

Register Voters in Your Community

Host a voter registration drive at your church, school, job, or neighborhood. Every person you register is a new voice in your community.

Get Registration Resources

Know and Share Your Rights

The most powerful thing you can do is know your rights — and make sure everyone around you knows theirs. Share the Know Your Rights guide with your community.

Know Your Rights

Spread the Word — Share Civic Ready

Send this page to 5 people who aren't registered or engaged. Every person you activate multiplies your civic power.

Contact Your Elected Officials

Your representatives work for you. Call, email, or visit their offices on the issues that matter to you. Use the Pathways to Power toolkit to learn how.
