NLIHC, the Coalition on Human Needs, Food Research & Action Center, and NETWORK held a recent webinar “Get Out the Vote: Opportunities to Mobilize People.” Speakers from Demos and Vote Early Day presented best practices for getting out the vote (GOTV) both on Election Day and through the early voting period. Attendees learned about intimidation, challenges, and hostility at the polls, and Adam Lioz from Demos explored the best ways to protect voters from voter intimidation. Joey Wozniak from Vote Early Day talked about coordinated efforts to get people throughout the country voting early in mass numbers and voting safely amid a pandemic, as well as the many tools available for voters.
