AAUW Releases Newly Revised Community Action Guide to Mobilize Women Voters

AAUW has released a 2nd edition of its well-received publication, Woman-to- Woman Voter Turnout: A Manual for Community-Based Campaigns to Mobilize Women to Vote. Thanks to critical donor support, this new tool is now available free online to help make plans to activate women voters across the country this fall.  It guides advocates step-by-step through planning a campaign, which includes recruiting volunteers, working with publicly available voter registration files to identify drop-off women voters in their community, and contacting those women through canvassing and phone banking. In addition to the manual, other online tools include nonpartisan voter guide templates, e-cards, position papers, and AAUW’s Congressional Voting Record for the 110th Congress, First Session.
