Decision 2020: Voter Registration, Protection and Election Information
From housing, health care, education, and the basic tenets of democracy–this year’s presidential election is an important one, with many issues critical to our nation and our communities under threat. Through CURE’s 2020 Racial Justice Presidential Candidate Scorecard and our Racial Justice 2020 events, we’re sharing information and tools to build power with voters and communities across the nation. Our issues, voices and votes matter. In an age of disinformation and voter suppression, we fight back by staying informed, pushing candidates to prioritize our issues, and connecting with voters to share resources and get out the vote. Check out and share this list of organizations and tools that are working toward these goals.
