Now more than ever, it is imperative that people uplift their voices at the ballot box to vote for the change that they want to see in their communities. In order to turn out the vote later this year, we are working with Conservation Voters of Pennsylvania to register voters across the state.
Registering voters is an essential first step to ensuring elected officials reflect the diversity and wishes of the communities they serve.

Through our work, we will provide access for thousands of voters in Pennsylvania to register to vote and cast their vote later this election cycle.
