What You Can Do: Five Ways to Help Get Out the Vote

1. Take a week (or two) and join NOW PAC in one of our swing state Get-Out-the-Women's-Vote campaigns! If you'd like to join our efforts in Colorado, Florida, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington or Wisconsin, email http://www.now.org/comments.html?code=pol&display_name=Political%20Director Linda Berg or call 202-628-8669 x121. These states were chosen because they have NOW-endorsed candidates in close races, marriage discrimination initiatives on the ballot, or the need for a large number of women and progressive voters to turn out at the polls.

2. If you're in one of the above target states, plan a get-out-the-vote event and post it on the America Votes and America Coming Together calendars. If you're not in a battleground state, consider donating funds to NOW to support field organizers or contribute to progressive candidates in those states.

3 . It's not too late to join our exciting 10 for Change online campaign. The site is new and improved and packed full of election tips, articles and useful information. Some of the steps are even easier now!

4. Download, print and distribute NOW's Get Out the Vote flyer http://www.10forchange.org/organizing/GOTVflyer.pdf reminding women's rights supporters why they must go to the polls.

5. Sign and circulate NOW's petition http://www.10forchange.org/organizing/GOTVflyer.pdf demanding that the presidential candidates and congressional leaders stand up for women and girls. We need their leadership to end discrimination and restore women's rights by supporting initiatives and policies that promote health, safety and opportunity for all of our nation's girls, women and families, not just for the privileged few.
