Current Campaign

RAC-PA 2022 Campaign: Every Voice Every Vote

RAC-PA continues our just elections work by focusing on voter registration, engagement and protection for the fall 2022 election. We are partnering with OnePA, New PA Project Education Fund and the League of Women Voters of PA to reach new voters through phone calls and in person voter registration; through 10,000+ handwritten postcards reminding these newly registered voters to vote; and we are recruiting much needed poll workers throughout the state.

SEND POSTCARDS TO VOTERS IN PA

We are sending postcards to voters who were registered by OnePA with reminders about election day. These personal, handwritten postcards go along way in meeting our goal- to treat voters like valuable members of our democracy. Check out our Postcard Party Planning Guide with everything you need to get started.
