Our Homes, Our Votes: 2020 is NLIHC’s nonpartisan effort to expand voter registration, candidate interaction, getting out the vote for low-income renters and their allies. The Our Homes, Our Votes: 2020 website provides important resources, templates, and guidelines for organizations hoping to be involved in the 2020 elections in a nonpartisan manner to elevate housing issues in the minds of voters and in public discussion of candidates. The campaign also made significant progress earlier this year getting presidential candidates to prominently feature housing solutions as part of their policy platforms.
Become a part of Our Homes, Our Votes: 2020 as an affiliated organization. From voter registration drives and candidate forums to voter education sessions, efforts are underway in communities throughout the country, and being a part of Our Homes, Our Votes: 2020 will weave a common thread through various local and national efforts to bring this important movement under one banner.
Any organization is welcome to participate as long as it is committed to advancing housing issues in the election, promoting voter registration and turnout among low-income voters, and doing so in a nonpartisan manner that does not endorse any candidate. Tenant associations, homeless service providers, tribal organizations, student groups, and neighborhood organizations – any group aligned with the mission of building affordable housing by delivering more housing voters to the polls – are welcome to be affiliates of Our Homes, Our Votes: 2020.
Affiliates will receive a swag bag with t-shirts, stickers, and posters from some of the merchandise available at the Our Homes, Our Votes: 2020 store. Affiliates will also be able to use Our Homes, Our Votes: 2020-branded images and logos on materials. Activities and efforts of affiliates will be featured in campaign newsletters and social media as election efforts increase in the coming months.
