We did it!
Congratulations Our Faith Our Voters! The election is over. We have witnessed an historic moment in our nation's history. Record numbers of first time voters, young voters and minority voters turned out on Election day with the conviction that their vote mattered. Congregations all over the country participated in the OFOV program and we want to thank you for your terrific work.
We're still collecting feedback, but here's a taste of what you did:
- 2,000 organizer packets were requested and sent out to churches all over the United States.
- Seminaries and campus ministries engaged their students in the classroom and on campuses.
- Large events were held in many places including North Carolina, Ohio, Michigan and California. Countless small events were held in churches coast to coast.
- 3,000 of you signed up for OFOV email alerts.
- Our partners at Election Protection field over 200,000 calls to their 1-866-OUR-VOTE hotline, including over 80,000 calls on Election Day alone. Questions and concerns from voters across the country were answered and acted upon by a network of over 10,000 trained volunteers across the country.
