Check Your Voter Registration, Register To Vote, or Sign Up to Vote By Mail

And Check Out the Organizations Leading the Way

There is so much going on around November’s election, we made voting (especially voting by mail) as easy as possible for everyone, in partnership with Vote.org, the leading non-profit, non-partisan organization working to increase voter turnout.

Looking for additional ways to have an impact this election season? Here are the organizations we are working with and how you can be a part of their advocacy for change.

Vote.org

We are proud to partner with Vote.org on our Fuel Your Vote campaign. Vote.org is America’s leading non-profit non-partisan organization working to increase voter turnout. Focusing on communities of color and younger voters, they are giving millions of people the tools they need to vote in 2020 and beyond. 

To-date Vote.org has registered more than 4.3 million voters, verified 10 million voters’ registration status, and has helped over 38 million website users by providing registration links and deadlines, polling location details, and other essential voting information for each state. Vote.org also runs a SMS-based GOTV program each year, targeting low-propensity voters nationwide. 

As part of our commitment to Vote.org we’ve created a special-edition coffee that contributes $2 of every box sold to their mission to simplify civic engagement, increase voter turnout, and strengthen American democracy. Click here to purchase

ACLU

For the past year La Colombe has partnered with the ACLU, raising over $70,000 to support their mission. The ACLU defends the rights that the Constitution guarantees to all of us, including voting rights, criminal justice reform, racial justice, LGBTQ rights, immigrants’ rights and women’s rights. 

In anticipation of this year’s election, they have created a “Know your Voting Rights” tool online. There you can learn more about how to exercise your voting rights, resist voter intimidation efforts, and access disability-related accommodations and language assistance at the polls. For help at the polls, call the non-partisan Election Protection Hotline at 1-866-OUR-VOTE.
