Vote Your Values 2024
National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) advocates have encouraged voter engagement for decades by registering people to vote, educating communities on the issues we care about, strengthening and expanding voting rights, and getting out the vote on Election Day. Use the resources below to plan out your efforts to help Get Out the Vote (GOTV) between now and November 5, 2024.

Prepare Yourself to Vote & to Get Out the Vote (GOTV)
Write letters to low-propensity voters.
Writing letters to voters is one of the most effective ways to increase voter turnout. Through NCJW’s partnership with Vote Forward, advocates have written over 7,500 letters to historically underrepresented groups so far. Join them!
Sign up to be a poll worker.
Our democracy depends on everyday people to help elections run smoothly and make sure every vote is counted. Join NCJW to power our elections by becoming a poll worker. We need to make sure our polls — and our democracy — are accessible for everyone who wants to cast their vote.
Show Your Values!
Check out our Vote Your Values merch. By wearing them around your community you can spark conversations. When you sport our NCJW gear, you’re helping to spread the word and inspire others to vote their values.

Take action to strengthen and expand the right to vote
