Why Join?

When We All Vote will recruit, engage, and support elected officials to implement comprehensive voter engagement strategies that harness their governing power to educate, engage, and mobilize people to safely register and vote. The program will identify and celebrate innovative engagement tactics and share best practices among mayors nationally. Together, we can work to ensure safe and fair elections for every eligible voter, while also protecting the integrity, accessibility, and security of the election process.

Civic Cities benefits include:

  • Join a national network of mayors to learn from and share best practices and creative ideas for voter engagement strategies;
  • Get access to resources, regular webinars, monthly actions, and ongoing support to coordinate efforts and increase voter engagement;
  • Receive regular voter registration data to help set a city-wide goal for 2020 and track progress throughout the program; and
  • Have an opportunity to be promoted on WWAV’s national platform through media, press releases, and social media channels.
