FYI From: xxxxxx@civilrightscoalition.org <xxxxxx@civilrightscoalition.org> On Behalf Of Lilian Aluri Sent: Wednesday, August 4, 2021 5:25 PM To: xxxxxx@civilrightscoalition.org; xxxxxx@civilrightscoalition.org Subject: [Voting Rights] Build the Power of the Disability Vote During National Disability Voter Registration Week 2021! Hello fellow organizers, I invite you all to participate in National Disability Voter Registration Week (NDVRW)<https://www.aapd.com/advocacy/voting/national-disability-voter-registration-week/>, September 13-20, and join organizers across the country as we build the power of the disability vote! National Disability Voter Registration Week, hosted by the American Association of People with Disabilities' REV UP Voting Campaign<https://www.aapd.com/advocacy/voting/>, is a nonpartisan initiative to make sure voters with disabilities are registered and ready to vote and call attention to issue important to voters with disabilities. Why participate in National Disability Voter Registration Week? Roughly 1 in 4 American adults has a disability, and over 38 million people with disabilities were eligible to vote in 2020! Unfortunately, there is about a 7% turnout gap<https://www.eac.gov/sites/default/files/voters/Disability_and_voting_accessibility_in_the_2020_elections_final_report_on_survey_results.pdf> between voters with and without disabilities. Much of this gap comes from the increased barriers that disabled voters, and particularly disabled voters of color face throughout the process from registering to vote to casting a ballot. As we have witnessed this year, hundreds of pieces of state legislation threaten access to the ballot. National Disability Voter Registration Week provides an opportunity to advocate for voting access and ensure that voters with disabilities in your communities are registered and ready to vote in upcoming elections.
