The Our Homes, Our Votes: 2022 webinar series features experts with frontline election experience to walk through every step of voter and candidate engagement activities and support housing organizations’ nonpartisan election efforts. The next webinar, “Voting while Experiencing Homelessness,” will be held today (Monday, August 22), at 2:30 pm ET. Register for the webinar series here.
People experiencing homelessness, service providers, and election officials often face uncertainty about the process of voter registration and obtaining voter ID for those without a permanent address. This webinar will discuss how people experiencing homelessness can exercise their voting rights and overcome the obstacles to making their voices heard in the political arena. Experts will discuss best practices for unhoused voters, shelters and outreach agencies, and election administrators. The panel will feature Kat Calvin, founder of Project ID and Spread the Vote; Courtney Cooperman, housing advocacy organizer at NLIHC; and Jessica Margeson, tenant organizer with the Granite State Organizing Project. Sidney Betancourt, housing advocacy organizer at NLIHC, will also preview the new edition of Tenant Talk: Housing is Built with Ballots.
Our Homes, Our Votes webinars will be held on a biweekly basis until the week that follows the 2022 midterm elections. View the full schedule for the webinar series here.
