All Voting Is Local

Overview

Mission

All voting is local (avl) focuses its nonpartisan programming in three core ways: 1) fighting voter suppression against american citizens and opening up pathways to registration and voting - at every turn and for eligible voters; 2) safeguarding our elections by pushing back against state and local officials who reject or undermine election results, attempt to subvert our democracy, or support policies that cut off voter access or disrupt vote counting; and 3) amplify the engagement of communities most impacted by voter suppression and the undermining of elections.
