Elections are openings — moments when a nation pauses to imagine its future. They invite us to build community and democracy through our courage, our relationships, and the choices we make together. Ahead of this year’s national election in November, we hope you’ll join us for launch of UU the Vote 2026: Ignite Solidarity, Reimagine Democracy.

We will honor the sacred privilege of voting by pledging to:

• Make sure every eligible member is registered to vote.
• Distribute information about ways to vote.
• Promote the sacred privilege of voting.
• Learn about candidates by attending candidate forums and distributing information.
• Participate in community-wide efforts to register people and get people to the polls.
• Engage those who are not eligible to vote to participate in civic life and encourage others to vote.

Past activities have included get out the vote phone/text banking, postcards and a “Souls to the Polls” voter information/registration fair. Contact membership@richmonduu.org if you would like to get involved.
