UUtheVote 2024

The UUtheVote 2024 campaign is getting underway. Intersecting with several Unitarian Universalist Association programs such as Side With Love and the UU Service Committee’s Love Resists, UUtheVote seeks to mobilize UUs, voters and local communities to understand the threats to our democracy, to engage with state action networks (like UULMMD) and collectively win on ballot measures that promote and affirm our UU values.
UUtheVote encourages congregations to become “Good Trouble” Congregations, honoring the late Congressman John Lewis who said, “Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.”

To become a Good Trouble (GT) Congregation, Channing must meet four goals as follows

Organizing: Meet Two of Six Goals

Turn out 10 percent of members at UUTV political education event

At least 2 congregants are line warmers, poll workers, non-partisan poll observers, Election Defenders
Reach 20 percent volunteer engagement in GT programming

Voter Contact: Meet Two of Five Goals

Average 200 text messages per member
Average 20 calls per member
Average 20 doorknocks per member
