Volunteer to protect voter rights

Responding to my plea for voter protection resources, Martha from NYC sent information about two organizations seeking volunteers and donations.

From People for the American Way:

Sign up to get involved on Election Day in one of the following ways:

Become a Pollworker for Democracy

People For the American Way Foundation and CREDO Mobile are partnering to train 5,000 citizen pollworkers who'll play a crucial part in making sure every American can cast a ballot this Nov. 4 and be confident that vote will be counted.

Our partner organizations in several states can put you to work on the front lines, helping voters with their questions and reporting instances of voter suppression on Election Day. Click here for a list of current partners and cities/states with Election Protection activity.

Get updates about other volunteer opportunities as they arise.

From Election Protection, the nation’s largest nonpartisan voter protection coalition:

If you are an attorney, law student, or paralegal, you can help to protect the right to vote by staffing Election Protection Hotlines across the country and working on the ground as mobile legal volunteers. Sign up here.

You can volunteer even if you don’t have a legal background. Sign up here.

The Election Protection site is an amazing resource for big picture voter protection issues as well as granular state-by-state detail.
