Help make September “Voter Registration Month”

We admit it — we took a little summer vacation. (How did summer go by so quickly?) But we are now re-engaged and energized to register voters in advance of the November midterms. Remember: October 12 is the registration deadline for new voters. Let’s hit the streets!

During the month of September, we plan to table and rove through the crowds during the following three events in downtown Ithaca:

We’ll be looking for volunteers to help us during these events, so please stay tuned for more information. We’ll be creating individual events on both Facebook and Action Network that will allow RSVPs for volunteer shifts. We’ll keep you posted on this site, too.

We have an experienced team, so if you’re new to registering voters, don’t be shy. It’s fun and easy and a great way to engage with the community.

More to come, we promise!

Rolling up our sleeves in 2018

Welcome to a new year of activism, hope and opportunity for change. The NY23 Votes team is rolling up our sleeves to get out the vote for the Midterm elections, to register voters, and to promote civic engagement in the 23rd District. This is the year that we hold Congress accountable to the people, and the grassroots organizing that you all have been doing is what is going to make that possible.

We have a slate of activities in the works for the months ahead, including canvasses, phone banks, tabling, festivals and events, training days, and more – we hope to hear from you if you have other ideas and plans. Many thanks to those of you who filled out our poll, we really appreciated the feedback, validation, and new ideas, and will be reaching out to folks who expressed interest in getting involved in specific activities.

Help us strategize

As 2017 comes to an end, we are anxious to think through our strategies for 2018. And we want your input! We would be most grateful if you would take this short survey.

 

This will help us understand how we can be most effective in the months leading up to the midterm election. It will also help us understand where your interests lie as well as the breadth of our volunteer base as we beginning scheduling voter registration canvasses and other activities.

 

Thank you for the taking the time. We really appreciate it!
