United We Vote

A Civic Engagement Campaign for 2020

 

From racial injustice, to rising unemployment, and a continuing worldwide pandemic, people are looking for safe and meaningful ways to fight for systemic change in our communities. Civic engagement is at the heart of what United Way does. For over 130 years, United Way has brought together leaders in communities to solve problems in a non-partisan manner. To meet the challenges of this moment, United Way has launched the United We Count, United We Vote campaign to mobilize local United Ways, partners and caring citizens in helping people be civically engaged and make their voices heard on the issues they care about.
