Rhode Island Voter Registration Drive
Where: Kennedy Plaza
National Voter Registration Day!
On Tuesday, September 25th, Common Cause Ohio is taking part with countless other organizations nationwide in National Voter Registration Day. Join us as we get out in the street and register as many voters as possible ahead of the October 9th deadline!
Meet at 11:00am at the Common Cause office, 35 E Gay Street, Suite 404, Columbus 43215 for a brief training and to collect supplies. Then head out in pairs around the heart of the city to register voters, as well as confirm and update registrations for those who are already registered.
The 11:30am-1:30pm “lunch hour” is a good time to catch people out and about in the city. We’ll look for high traffic areas around city center--bus stops, food truck lines, the fountain and benches along Scioto Mile, the farmers’ market on the Statehouse grounds, outside the courthouse or even the art museum… It’s up to you!
All are welcome! Invite your friends, share to other groups, and spread the word.

Colorado's upcoming election is breaking records for campaign spending. But where is all of this money coming from - and how is it being used to influence your vote?
Learn who raises and spends money in Colorado elections - from candidates to Super PACS to "dark money" groups - at our upcoming Follow the Money workshop.
Participants will learn how to use OpenSecrets.org, FollowTheMoney.org, and the Colorado Secretary of State's TRACER website to find the donors behind the advertisements you see and hear during the election cycle. You'll walk away with a better understanding of campaign finance law in Colorado, and what to look and listen for in political advertisements.
Please bring a laptop and any campaign literature that you have received this year.
