It is time to work unceasingly to elect Joe Biden President. Here are 20 ways to get involved, even if you’re busy. And you’re always welcome to donate money…all of these organizations will be grateful for your dollars.

  1. The Biden Campaign: It’s time for respected leadership on the world stage — and dignified leadership at home. It’s time for equal opportunity, equal rights, and equal justice. It’s time for an economy that rewards those who actually do the work. It’s time for a president who will stand up for all of us. Are you with us?
  2. Vote Save America Adopt A State: You don’t live in a battleground state. So how do you help out in the states that will determine who wins in 2020? We finally have an answer: No matter where you live, you can directly support the work of organizers, volunteers, and candidates in the six key battleground states that will be most important to delivering a progressive majority in 2020. Just pick a state below, sign up, and we’ll get you everything you need to make a big difference this November.
  3. Vote Common Good Adopt a Swing State: Help us reach 50,000 movable faith-voters in each “swing state” of Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Florida. A 5% change in 2016 faith-voter support for Trump in these states is more than enough votes to guarantee that he will not win re-election. We know that many faith voters are looking for an “exit ramp” from supporting Trump. We know how to engage them and help them take that exit.
  4. Postcards to Voters: Postcards to Voters are friendly, handwritten reminders from volunteers to targeted voters giving Democrats a winning edge in close, key races coast to coast.
  5. Fair Fight: We promote fair elections in Georgia and around the country, encourage voter participation in elections, and educate voters about elections and their voting rights. Fair Fight brings awareness to the public on election reform, advocates for election reform at all levels, and engages in other voter education programs and communications.
  6. League of Women Voters: Supports Voter Registration and taking money out of politics. Donate to COVID Elections Fund to ensure safe and accessible elections
  7. Rock the Vote: Help Rock the Vote register, educate and turn out young people to vote.
  8. When We All Vote: When We All Vote is a non-profit, nonpartisan organization that is on a mission to increase participation in every election and close the race and age voting gap by changing the culture around voting, harnessing grassroots energy, and through strategic partnerships to reach every American. Launched in 2018 by co-chairs Michelle Obama, Tom Hanks, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Janelle Monae, Chris Paul, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, When We All Vote is changing the culture around voting using a data-driven and multifaceted approach to increase participation in elections.
  9. Spread the Vote: 21 million Americans don’t have photo ID. If they live in a strict voter ID state, they can’t vote. Volunteer to help Americans win back their fundamental right to vote.
  10. Vote Riders: VoteRiders is a non-partisan, non-profit organization founded in 2012 with a mission to ensure that all citizens are able to exercise their right to vote. VoteRiders informs and helps citizens to secure their voter ID as well as inspires and supports organizations, local volunteers, and communities to sustain voter ID education and assistance efforts.
  11. Election Protection: Election Protection: Led by the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, Election Protection is the nation’s largest non-partisan voter protection coalition.
  12. We the Action: Thousands of lawyers and voting rights activists volunteer to ensure every voter’s voice is heard at the polls.
  13. Head Count: Get involved in politics and grassroots organizing! HeadCount works with hundreds of artists to register voters and raise social consciousness. Whenever they play a concert near a major city, we’re there registering voters and promoting democracy.
  14. Jews for Joe: We may be hundreds of miles apart or have different perspectives on various issues facing our generation, but we have come together behind one common goal. Jews 4 Joe is mobilizing the Jewish community in support of Joe Biden’s candidacy for President of the United States. Troubled by the moral unrest and division in our country, we knew we had to do everything in our power to elect Joe Biden. At the beginning of March, locked down due to the pandemic, Jews 4 Joe was founded to kickstart a grassroots-powered Jewish movement. What began as a simple social media endeavor has since turned into a major political operation.
  15. RepresentUs: To solve America’s corruption crisis, we need to work together to win campaigns across the country. We bring together conservatives, progressives, and everyone in between to pass powerful anti-corruption laws that stop political bribery, end secret money, and fix our broken elections. Whether you have 5 minutes or 5 hours, you can join our action team, the Action Brigade, and be part of the next wave of victories.
  16. Voters Not Politicians: Voters Not Politicians is leading the Nights & Weekends campaign in dozens of municipalities across Michigan to increase access to voting in Michigan, especially in areas where turnout is low.
  17. Fair Vote: We want to hear from you! Join FairVote to help build the ranked choice voting movement across the country. Sign up here to support and grow the movement to bring ranked choice voting to all elections — from your city council to Congress and the presidency!
  18. Let America Vote: We started Let America Vote to fight back against proposals across the country that make it harder for eligible voters to exercise their constitutional right to cast a ballot. Whether it’s extreme identification requirements, questionable purges of voters from the rolls, voter intimidation, new and extreme voter registration processes, or anything that makes voting harder, Let America Vote is there to lead the fight against it.
  19. National Democratic Redistricting Committee: The National Democratic Redistricting Committee, founded by Eric Holder, is the centralized hub for executing a comprehensive redistricting strategy that shifts the redistricting power, creating fair districts where Democrats can compete.
  20. Voter Protection Corps: Our Mission is to ensure that all eligible voters can register, vote, and have their votes counted. Whether transparent, insidious, or unintentional, these widespread and multifaceted problems materially interfere with the right to vote. Solving them requires expert legal, political, or other strategic interventions, and a well-coordinated plan of action.
