The Our Homes, Our Votes: 2024 webinar series provides resources, guidance, and inspiration for organizations and individuals seeking to launch or strengthen their own nonpartisan voter and candidate engagement initiatives. The final webinar in the series, “A Look Ahead: Next Steps for Nonpartisan Civic Engagement and Housing Justice,” will take place today (November 18) at 2:30 pm ET. Representative Jesús “Chuy” García (D-IL-4) will join the webinar to speak about the “Our Homes, Our Votes Act,” a bill that would increase access to voter registration among HUD residents.

A successful nonpartisan voter engagement campaign does not end on Election Day. After the election is over, housing and homelessness organizations should evaluate the impact of their activities, leverage the power of low-income renters as a voting constituency, and establish relationships with newly elected officials. This webinar will cover strategies to hold elected officials accountable to their campaign promises and advocate for long-term, systemic change to increase voter access—including passage of the “Our Homes, Our Votes Act.” The webinar will feature Rep. Jesús "Chuy" García (D-IL), lead sponsor of the “Our Homes, Our Votes Act;” Allison Neswood, staff attorney at the Native American Rights Fund; and Brooke Schipporeit, director of field organizing at NLIHC.
