Pledge to Vote is about strengthening our democracy.
It is a campaign of Together LA to engage hundreds of faith and community institutions across Louisiana to organize their members and their neighborhoods to vote.
We believe our democracy is healthier when everyone votes, so we developed a voting strategy over the last three years that really works. We’ve found making a Pledge to Vote as part of a campaign through a community institution is the most effective way to increase voter turnout and rebuild a culture of voting.
In prior elections, our pledge-to-vote campaigns increased voter turnout by 54% among occasional voters.
It involves three basic steps:
- Congregations, fraternities & sororities, unions & civic organizations sign up to take part in Pledge to Vote.
- Participating organizations run a pledge drive, organizing their members and others to take the Pledge to Vote.
- Voter turnout teams at each organization contact all their pledgers during early voting and on election day to make sure they turn out to vote.
Pledge to Vote is a non-partisan campaign that does not support any particular candidate. The information you provide will not be shared with any outside organization.
Together Louisiana is a statewide network of more than 250 religious congregations and civic organizations across Louisiana, representing more than 200,000 people.
The mission of Together Louisiana is to give faith and community-based organizations an opportunity to develop the leadership capacity of their members and affect change on a larger scale than they could alone.
