DID YOU KNOW?!?

54 million Americans have a disability ~ 20% OF THE POPULATION and We have the largest voting block in the nation.

But... we have the lowest voting record of any group.   

If you care about your civil rights, accessibility, the integrity of the ADA, housing, transportation, health care… Then register, get involved, find out how your candidates stand on issues that effect you and millions of others with disabilities, and get to the polls.  Call us to find out how. 

ROCK THE NATION WITH THE POWER OF THE DISABILITY VOTE!

ILRC offices have registration forms and Easy Voter Guides, in English and Spanish. You can pick one up or you can access www.easyvoter.org. 

You can even REGISTER TO VOTE ON LINE at:  https://ovr.sos.ca.gov/votereg/OnlineVoterReg 

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Volunteers and staff are sending out post card reminders to vote and will also be calling and emailing people close to the election day. We are also checking our local polling places to see if they are accessible. 

If you would like to volunteer for the phone bank or to survey poling places, give rides to the polls or would like more information, please contact Kathleen Riel at (805) 963-0595, ext. 105 or email at kriel@ilrc-trico.org
