Get Out the Vote for Kids

2020 is a critical election year for kids!

With your help, we will turnout voters who prioritize the needs of children. When we vote for kids, candidates and politicians are more likely to prioritize them!

This online toolkit includes everything you need to get out the vote for kids.

 

Start by Making a Plan

   
  

 
Learn How to Vote in Your State

Every state votes a little differently.

Make sure you know all the rules in your state so you can spread the word to others.

   

 
     

 Craft a Voter Turnout Plan

You can make a big difference by encouraging others to vote.

All it takes is a plan! Here’s a worksheet to help you get started. 

  

  
     

 Pick an Online Platform for Virtual Events

In the age of COVID-19, all events are moving to a virtual format. 

We know that it can be confusing to find an online platform for these events, so we’ve made it simple to choose the best one for your event.
