All In Together created this comprehensive starter guide for people who want to get involved in their communities and government. The guide is organized by experience level, starting with complete beginners who need to register to vote and learn about elections. It then moves to deeper engagement like advocating for your community, meeting with elected officials, and learning about policies.
The guide includes templates for telling your story, finding your issue priorities, and building relationships with representatives. It also covers how to volunteer on campaigns, become a poll worker, and seek appointed positions on local boards. All In Together has trained women in civic engagement for 10 years and compiled their best resources into this free guide.
The organization offers to share materials with schools and other groups, and provides a chatbot to answer civic questions. The guide connects to many partner organizations that offer voting tools, policy explanations, and ways to track legislation. Everything is designed to help people move from just voting to becoming active community advocates and leaders.
