Volunteer Engagement Opportunities

Reach Your Network on OutreachCircle

The League of Women Voters field support has gone digital! LWVNJ launched a digital platform called OutreachCircle, where people can easily stay connected to League activity and conduct civic education outreach efforts to different communities all from one platform! As we all know, there is so much work to get done, from educating first-time voters to reminding our community members to create their voting plan to working with election officials to instill confidence in our election process. Still, we can’t do this work alone. We need the full force of our all our partners in New Jersey to get this critical work done.

Click here for instructions on how to start using OutreachCircle.

PLEASE NOTE: While there are c3 nonpartisan activities on OutreachCircle, LWVNJ also uses this platform for some of our c4 advocacy actions. Not all OutreachCircle opportunities are appropriate for other organizations. Please evaluate before sharing.

Encourage People to Vote Early!

National Vote Early Day is October 23rd! Use this sign up form to get your League registered!

‍While Vote Early Day is October 23rd, we want to ensure that October is full of many different activities and messages to capitalize on the momentum around early voting nationwide to get out the vote. Below are some ideas to build up momentum to get out the vote throughout the early voting season.

Use a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Lens when creating your public education and engagement strategy.

Review this Voter Suppression Toolkit: The Fight for the Right to Vote to contextualize your efforts in an understanding of historic voter suppression and systemic oppression. You can also view this recorded training our friends at the Leadership Conference hosted with us earlier this year!

Use these guiding questions when thinking through target outreach, building partnerships, and participating in coalitions when developing your public education plans:

How are we building trust in the system?
Who is most impacted by the voter suppression tactics in your area?
Are their voices at the table when decisions are made on how to best deal with this voter suppression tactic?
What lessons did you learn during the primaries?
Were there any areas or communities that were disproportionately impacted by change to vote by mail?
Where were ballots rejected?
Where are drop boxes located?

Strengthen your efforts by partnering with local organizations and community leaders to support the messaging and efforts of others to reach the most people.
