Together, we can turn anger into action, using the power of our numbers to fight for justice and lead our country to a more equitable and inclusive future for all.
With less than 70 days until the Presidential Election, we want you and your students to join the groundbreaking coalition of 10,000+ girls pre-registering and registering themselves and 10,000+ more members of communities across Southern California and nationwide to vote and fight for justice on behalf of each and every one of us who call the United States home.
With unprecedented times calling for unprecedented measures, you’ll be part of the first-ever all-virtual Girls Build Voter Mobilization Challenge. Virtual civic engagement presents its own unique challenges but more importantly, it’s an opportunity to innovate and reach more people than ever. To navigate this together, Girls Build and When We All Vote have brought together an exciting lineup of resources and events, including our signature Girls Build Summit.
From now until November 3rd, follow the steps below to form a team and execute a plan to get out the vote and register as many people in your network of schools, neighborhoods, and communities. Every participating Girls Build team will be invited to the Girls Build Summit on October 15, 2020, where top teams who register the most number of people will be highlighted, get an exclusive chance to spend time with our speakers, and more.
Together, we’ll leverage the power of our numbers at the ballot box to make sure that change happens with us at the table.
