Register today and join us on April 13 at 3:00 pm ET for the next installment of the 2026 Our Homes, Our Votes monthly webinar series titled, “Protecting Voting Rights: Strengthening Democracy Through Local Housing Advocacy.”
This session will explore the critical role housing advocates play in supporting democratic participation and protecting access to the ballot particularly for low-income renters and historically marginalized communities. As barriers to voting continue to emerge at the state and federal levels, this webinar will help participants understand how housing advocacy intersects with civic engagement and why this work is essential to a functioning democracy.
Participants will gain a foundational understanding of:
How housing instability and voter suppression are interconnected
The role of housing organizations and tenant leaders in expanding voter access
Strategies for embedding nonpartisan voter engagement into housing advocacy work
How local efforts can strengthen civic participation and build long-term voter power
This session is designed to ground participants in key concepts that connect housing justice to democracy and will serve as a bridge to the May 2026 webinar, which will provide a deeper legal analysis of the Supreme Court case Louisiana v. Callais and its implications for voter access and housing advocacy.
The webinar will feature speakers working at the intersection of housing and civic engagement who will share insights, strategies, and real-world examples of how local advocacy efforts are strengthening democracy and protecting voting rights in communities across the country.
This webinar series is central to the OHOV campaign’s mission to ensure renters are fairly represented in our democracy, especially as they remain significantly underrepresented in the political process. The series equips advocates, tenant leaders, and service providers with the tools and knowledge needed to conduct effective, nonpartisan voter engagement while navigating emerging challenges and threats to voter participation.
