If you’ve been waiting for the right opportunity to volunteer, the time is now!
With less than 35 days until the election, our work in the community is more important than ever. We need to make sure voters have the information they need to register, request a Vote-by-Mail ballot if they choose, learn about the candidates and issues, and make a plan to vote.
We need YOU to help make it happen! Whether you have a few hours, a full day, or can volunteer from home, your time can make a difference. Don’t wait until Election Day—there is important work to do right now. WE WILL TRAIN YOU!
35 days. Every voter matters. Every volunteer matters. Let’s get to work! BELOW are our most pressing needs for next week and election day. |

| | |  |  | Although this mid-term election is stress inducing for many (and we'll talk about it at Hot Topics), the League of Women Voters is one of 300+ organizations who are participating in the largest nonpartisan voter protection program in the country. Hopefully, you will feel reassured after reading about ELECTION PROTECTION 866 Our Vote or visit protectthevote.net
You can even join the effort as a volunteer. Taking action is a great way to assuage your misgivings about how this election will turn out because YOU will be helping to protect the process. | | JOIN US for a unique conversation about the mindset of anxiety that is surrounding the upcoming mid-term election. Panelists joining us include:
We'll be questioning WHAT is making the voting public so anxious? HOW will it affect the election outcome? WHEN did you notice the tone change? Plus much more.
| Every conversation matters. Every volunteer matters. And every voter we reach helps build a stronger, more representative democracy.~Kay Hudson |  | LOOK at our volunteers! They've been out at multiple locations to register and educate voters--especially our newest voters at the high schools! You can join these groups as part of our grassroots efforts at Volunteering Opportunities. Thank you, Voter Services and Speakers' Bureau! We try to correctly identify as many volunteers as possible but appreciate your patience as we squint to read the name tags! ;-) Shown LEFT BOTTOM at Wekiva HS: L to R: Kitty Woodley, Patrice Knowles, Roshni Babb, Sheila from SOE, Melva Bentley Ross, Susie Landis, Mary Ann Coffey; Shown LEFT TOP at Wekiva HS: L to R: Sheila from SOE, Natalie Ford, Betty Saulpaugh, Roshni Babb, Emily Glickstein, Saudi Ellis, Cherlynn Williams, Denise Burton; Shown MIDDLE at Evans HS: L to R: Roshni Babb, Betty Saulpaugh, Lauren Houk, Bobby Sena, Terry Osborne, Karen Roby, Deborah Lederer, Patrice Knowles, Margo Hamel, in front:Victoria from the SOE.
