EE Votes is a nonpartisan civic engagement initiative with a goal of making Emanu El a 100% voting congregation in all elections.
We live in a democracy, and our democracy is strongest when everyone participates. As Americans and as Jews, we have the opportunity and the responsibility to make our voices heard. Throughout Jewish history, our rabbis and sages have framed voting as more than just a civic duty. Voting is a mitzvah, a sacred obligation.
Emanu El is virtually 100% registered to vote. But registering to vote is only half of the commitment, half of the opportunity, and half of the mitzvah. We must cast our ballots for our voices to be heard. So, while the goal of EE Votes is 100% voter turnout for our congregation, our mission is to make it as easy as possible to reach that goal.

Every Voice Every Vote (EVEV) is the Reform Jewish Movement’s 2024 campaign to protect, expand and strengthen our democracy by encouraging and protecting voter participation. EVEV postcarding efforts are nonpartisan and primarily focused on overcoming barriers to voting in states that target Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities where there is a significant number of people of color and racial gaps in voter participation. Often these voters are overlooked by other campaigns or difficult to reach by phone or door knocking.
If you can’t join us, register — you can still participate!
Come to our Postcarding Party!
We’ll supply postcards, stamps, the postcard script, dinner and drinks!
