Woman-to-Woman Voter Turnout
What is the program?
This workshop will cover the components of planning and implementing an effective campaign to turn out women to vote. The training utilizes AAUW's well-received guide, Woman-to- Woman Voter Turnout: A Manual for Community-Based Campaigns to Mobilize Women to Vote, which provides step-by-step instructions and examples for leaders as they plan and implement a campaign of personal, woman-to-woman outreach that will turn out women voters. Copies of the manual should be distributed to every participant so that each can follow along. Printed copies of the manual can be ordered from AAUW or the complete manual can be downloaded from the AAUW website.
The Woman-to-Woman Voter Turnout manual provides guidance on how to personalize voter turnout campaigns to the resources available in a community to have a lasting effect.
