The 2020 election isn\u2019t coming November 3\u2014it\u2019s already here. And it\u2019s not over until the last vote is counted. <\/p>\n

This election will make a huge difference for the future of economic and racial equity and clean energy, not just in the Mid-Atlantic but across the United States. You can make a huge difference for the election.<\/em><\/strong> Even though volunteer opportunities at GRID Mid-Atlantic solar installations are limited by the pandemic, you can still use your time and energy to help us bring solar energy and solar jobs to more people. America will only achieve the equitable clean energy transition we need through a strong democracy that asserts its will at the polls. <\/p>\n

Here are the best ways to maximize your impact now and over the next 27 days: <\/p>\n

Check Your Registration.<\/strong> Some state voter registration deadlines have already passed, but DC, Maryland, and Virginia allow registration through October 13. Easily check or re-check your status at Vote.org<\/a>, then send the link to your loved ones.<\/p>\n

Make a Plan.<\/strong> Whether you\u2019re voting early in person<\/a>, voting absentee or by mail<\/a>, or going to the polls on November 3, make sure you have a safe<\/a> plan for when, where, and how<\/a> that meets your state\u2019s election rules. <\/p>\n

Be Informed.<\/strong> Vote411<\/a> is a great resource to easily find out what races and ballot initiatives are on your ballot and where federal, state, and local candidates stand on issues. <\/p>\n

Get Out The Vote.<\/strong> Start by encouraging everyone you know<\/a> to make a plan and vote, and then, if you have time, check out other powerful and nonpartisan volunteer opportunities with the Environmental Voter Corps<\/a>, National Voter Corps<\/a>, or (through next week) Vote Forward\u2019s Social Campaigns<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Protect Every Vote<\/strong>. Volunteers with groups like the nonpartisan Election Protection<\/a> will be voters\u2019 first line of defense against voting disruptions<\/a>, intimidation<\/a>, or suppression<\/a> that could silence their voices\u2014especially in some of the underserved and disenfranchised communities<\/a> where GRID works. Opportunities<\/a> are both in-person and remote, and training is provided. Learn more in this citizen\u2019s guide to defending democracy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Stay Committed.<\/strong> If you find yourself waiting in a very long line to vote in person, please report it to Election Protection by calling or texting 866-OUR-VOTE<\/a> (check here<\/a> for other languages)\u2014and then boost yourself and your fellow voters with free pizza<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Why is GRID Mid-Atlantic so interested in getting out the vote and making sure every vote counts? Decisions hang in the balance at the federal, state, and local levels that affect our organization, and more importantly, the communities we serve. Americans across the political spectrum support clean energy, and we need our policymakers to reflect that support. With climate change, the pandemic, economic devastation, and racial injustice as converging crises<\/a>, full participation in our democracy has never been more crucial. <\/p>\n

With your help, GRID Mid-Atlantic has shown policymakers that it is possible to bring clean energy and the savings and jobs that come with it to underserved communities. Your monthly gift<\/a> will mean we can continue this work year after year. <\/p>\n

Thank you for standing with GRID Mid-Atlantic! <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
