Read all about Project MOVE’s four pronged approach to getting Alabamians active and engaged in the political process here.

#1 COMMUNITY SURVEYING

To find out what Alabamians really need, we’re going straight to the source– Alabamians!

We’re surveying folks across the state to find out what truly matter to them and their community so we can better engage them AND meet their real needs. With phonebanks, tabling at events, and even knocking a few doors, we are talking to thousands of Alabamians about the issues that matter most to them. Join us to help MOVE fellow Alabamians to the polls!

#2 COMMUNITY CARE

If a person’s immediate needs aren’t being met, how can we expect them to tackle the systemic issues that plague their community– or even find the time to care?

In coalition with community partners, the ACLU of Alabama provides community care through services like job fairs, food bank support, and health screenings. Project MOVE also regularly hosts voter registration events at high schools, voter education events and town halls on HBCU campuses, pop ups in barbershops, and works with faith communities to make civic engagement and learning more accessible.

#3 GET OUT THE VOTE

Seasoned campaigners know, you have to meet voters where they are! So we Project MOVE utilizes traditional outreach methods like door knocking and phone calling– just without the candidate.

No matter their issue, we want to make sure folks know how, when, and why they should make their voice heard. Along with directly reaching out to voters via telephone and door knocking, we use our platform to share important election deadlines and rules.

#4 CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT

Politics don’t just happen during election years– politics are year round.

Project MOVE is building lasting connections with voters and communities that go beyond the election cycle. We don’t just show up during election years to get votes like some politicians. We listen to our communities so we can help get their needs met and their voices heard.

In this guide you will find helpful resources on voter registration, important election deadlines and dates, voting rights, and more.
