2024/2025 Voter Service Report
2024/25 was a big year for voters. We had many volunteers helping to get people registered and ready to vote. We participated in an accessibility survey of voting locations for the Disability Law Center, and we tabled at Collective Power for Reproduction at Hampshire College, the Gender Resource Fair at Amherst College, the Democracy Fair in Northampton, the Jones Library Naturalization Ceremony, the Democracy event at UMass, the Amherst block party, and many more. We had a panel on the League and voting at Amherst College where we mailed out hundreds of postcards to voters. We were invited to speak on a WMUA radio talk show. We even sent volunteers down to the West Springfield Mosque to educate and inform voters! As we headed into 2025, with democracy down but not out, we rose to the challenge and chartered a bus, taking nearly 60 people to Boston for the Hands Off rally.
