Toolkit Logo - Register! Educate! Vote! Use your Power! RevUp! Make the Disability Vote CountThe REV UP Campaign is coordinating a National Disability Voter Registration Week to increase the political power of people with disabilities while also engaging candidates and the media to recognize the disability community.

To help prepare for National Disability Voter Registration Week, the REV UP Campaign will host an organizing webinar on Tuesday, May 24th at 3:00 p.m. Eastern. The purpose of the webinar is aid organizers across the country to hold their own voter registration events – both physically and online – to increase the number of people with disabilities who are registered to vote and ultimately the number of people with disabilities who cast their ballots on Election Day this November and in future elections.

More information, including a link to register will be sent out soon. Thank you for doing your part to make the DISABILITY VOTE count!

The REV UP Campaign aims to increase the political power of the disability community while also engaging candidates and the media on disability issues. REV UP stands for Register! Educate! Vote! Use your Power!
