By Dani Patel, NLIHC Strategic Partnerships & Campaigns Intern 

Join NLIHC’s Our Homes, Our Votes Campaign for the final voter mobilization webinar before Election Day! On Monday, November 2, at 3:00 pm ET, panelists will discuss election protection information, equipping housing advocates with the necessary tools to protect voter access and combat suppression.  

As we approach the 2026 Midterm Elections, OHOV is highlighting the important role advocates play in ensuring residents have fair access to voting, regardless of their income or housing status. The upcoming webinar will address voter suppression threats so advocates can effectively respond and ensure community members can meaningfully participate in democracy. The webinar will also uplift local-level efforts by OHOV’s mini-grant recipients to highlight successful voter turnout strategies.  

What to Expect 

  • Election protection resources: Learn about resources available to help voters navigate challenges and access support. 
  • Know your rights: Explore information and tools to help residents understand their voting rights and identify where to turn for assistance. 
  • Overcoming barriers to voting: Hear about efforts to address voter suppression, voter intimidation, and other challenges that can interfere with voter access. 
  • Tools for the final stretch: Identify practical, nonpartisan ways housing advocates and community organizations can help residents prepare for Election Day. 
  • Building civic power: Connect with partners and organizations working to strengthen voter access and civic participation in communities across the country.

Election Day is an important opportunity for advocates, leaders, and service providers to ensure residents can exercise their fundamental right to vote, and that our democracy is truly representative.
