​

Amanda Hollowell, managing director of national organizing at When We All Vote, discussed opportunities for community engagement and mobilization around the Civic Holidays and throughout election season. Chyann Sapp, campaign director of National Voter Registration Day, highlighted ways to celebrate National Voter Registration Day on September 17 and resources that the organization makes available to support these activations. Bryce Bennett, executive director of Vote Early Day, gave an overview of the full suite of Civic Holidays and how each builds on the one before, and provided an introduction to Vote Early Day's partner resources. Rohini Nambiar gave an overview of Election Hero Day and how to get involved, including ideas for in-person activations and social media included in the Election Hero Day Partner Toolkit. 

​

To make it easier for partners to plan ahead and organize their Civic Holidays celebrations, Our Homes, Our Votes compiled a factsheet that summarizes each Civic Holiday and provides suggested activations for each one.
