Volunteer for Vote for a Change
Why Vote for a Change? Because US Census data confirms that voter registration and participation rates decline dramatically and consistently as household incomes decline. Our efforts are focused in areas of South King County, specifically Auburn and Kent, where there are the highest numbers of people living on the lowest of incomes. In these areas, we go door to door at the neighborhood level to register voters, committing people to vote by signing a petition, and encouraging new voters to stay engaged and involved in the democratic process. Join us on the last 2 Saturdays to register voters door-to-door!
