Democracy & Voting

Voting Justice

Removing barriers to voting so that all Washingtonians can engage in elections.

Working to ensure that our government is accessible and works for us all. Our Democracy is a right and existing structures of power and privilege should not determine our ability to access democratic power.

Register to Vote

Voter registration is a critical way to support Washington’s environment. We know that when more people vote, our environment and communities win. 20% of Washingtonians who are eligible to vote are not registered, especially among communities of color, young people, and people historically disenfranchised from the voting system.
