About us
Who We Are
Faith Vote Columbus is a coalition of religious congregations, neighborhood associations, and labor unions committed to:- Injecting issues of poverty and social justice into state and national elections
- Increasing voter turnout in urban precincts with histories of low voter participation
- Recruiting and training volunteers to engage in neighbor-to-neighbor non-partisan voter education campaigns on an on-going basis
- Maximizing the political power of disenfranchised communities
- Protecting the right to vote
In 2008, Faith Vote Columbus will recruit and train 500 local volunteers to bring out 15,000 new voters in the neighborhoods where they live, work, and worship. Our efforts in 2008 will build a permanent organization that can change long-term voting patterns in communities where fewer than 50% of registered voters participated in the 2004 presidential election.
