UU the Vote

white text that says uu the vote on blue background with a blue chalice emblem

When we organize, we build power in our communities for justice, accountability, and healing. Since 2020, UU the Vote has built new networks of spiritual and political communities to #VoteLove and #DefeatHate.

In 2024, we, the DUUC Good Troublemakers, answered the call of our faith to organize and mobilize our congregation toward empowered democratic action! Through our outreach efforts, our congregation reached over 124,544 voters leading up to the general election. In January 2025 we were one of 53 UU congregations to be recognized as a “Good Trouble Congregation” by the UUA.

Our Convenant

We, the DUUC Good Troublemakers, are answering the call of our faith to organize and mobilize our congregation toward empowered democratic action. To this end, as “ordinary people with extraordinary vision”, we commit to:

  • “stand up, speak up, and speak out” in pursuit of collective liberation, and
  • contribute to building an inclusive, multi-racial democracy.

We invite you to join us in this work! Email: duucUUtheVote (at) gmail.com

UU the Vote 2026 Launch:
Ignite Solidarity, Reimagine Democracy

Democracy is so much more than an election. It is not determined by the courage or the cruelty of our leaders. We the people make it real through our practice of showing up for one another, building trust, and embodying our shared values in public life.

And yet elections can be sacred openings where this nation joins in collective practice to reimagine our future and shape who we become together.

View the Launch and Resources.

Our 2026 Actions

Postcards with Reclaim Our Vote
DUUC’s UU the Vote team is working with the Center for Common Ground’s Reclaim Our Vote (ROV) campaign. ROV is a grassroots, primarily volunteer-run campaign that focuses on increasing BIPOC voter turnout through post-carding, texting, and phone banking. Join other DUUC members writing postcards with our take-home postcarding packets! Packets include all the materials and instructions you need to write 20 postcards, postage is provided by DUUC or you can provide your own. Pick up and drop off available in Kreves Hall on most Sundays between services.
