Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 5. Your voice matters!
At BakerRipley, we are passionate about ensuring our Neighbors have every resource available to achieve upward socioeconomic mobility. But we don’t operate in a vacuum. We rely on our elected officials to represent our community members’ interests. That’s why the more of us who vote, the better representation and outcomes we can expect. Voting gives each of us the power to create positive change that will improve our quality of life and ensure our values and issues are prioritized at the local, state, and federal level.

Happening now through Election Day – Relational Organizing Program Training Events Volunteers receive intense training in election information and different skills to be able to encourage people in their own personal networks to vote. People who participate will attend the scheduled training and choose contacts in their phone to be able to continually follow-up with during election time and hopefully turn out to vote. Whoever participates in our program and turns out the most people within their contacts will win a prize!
