Join us at the State House on Wednesday, January 31st to sit face-to-face with your representatives and tell them how we can empower and enfranchise thousands of Massachusetts voters with automatic voter registration (AVR).

AVR is the next step in voting rights. It shifts our voter registration from an opt-in system to an opt-out one, involving more citizens in the political process. It also costs less in the long run and makes voting rolls more accurate and secure. Approximately 680,000 eligible citizens are currently not registered to vote in Massachusetts--AVR could give them a voice in our democracy.

We will spend an hour teaching you the tips and tricks to speaking with legislators before sending you off to attend scheduled meetings with your representatives to advocate for this vital reform. Sign up today to be a part of the movement!
