To save Democracy, we need to win in November. In order to win, we need people to register and vote!
This episode of the Friday Power Lunch focuses on different angles to register voters. We'll discuss finding the elusive unregistered voters, registering high school seniors, the importance of following up with newly registered voters, and using a new app that engages with people to vote.
GUESTS:
- Susan Labandibar (Co-Lead, Spring Blue Alliance) and Andy Liebman (Co-coordinator, Unregistered Voters Data Project) discuss Swing Blue Alliance's groundbreaking Unregistered Voter Data Project currently being tested in Arizona.
- Laura Brill (The Civics Center) talks about youth voter registration and their program for high school seniors, "Cap, Gown & Ballot".
- Debra Taylor (Red2Blue) shares how they serve as a back-office for organizations that register new voters by calling them one month after registration to assure successful completion of the application and then a GOTV call before the election. Voicemail messages are left for those who do not answer and calls are followed by a text message.
- Andrea Miller (Center for Common Ground) discusses about registering people of color to vote and the new voter engagement tool ActiVote.
