DATE: Monday, September 24, 2018
TIME: 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. (Pacific Time)
With the November elections looming, many organizations that we wouldn't normally think of as hubs for engaging voters are playing an important role in ensuring eligible citizens are able to register. Community health centers, trusted spaces for obtaining health care, are among those entering the realm of voter registration. Health centers can incorporate voter registration into all aspects of their work, beginning with training and educating staff on the importance of registration. With local health centers facilitating the completion of a voter registration form, consumers are empowered to walk out of a health center with their health issues attended to, as well as the tools to participate in the next election.
CaliforniaHealth+ Advocates, in partnership with Nonprofit VOTE and CPCA's Consortia members, launched a 2018 Voter Engagement Toolkit to provide additional guidance on permissible voter engagement activities for California's community health centers.
During this 60 minute webinar, featured speakers will provide tips and insights on how best to utilize the 2018 Voter Engagement Toolkit for your health center's capacity and civic engagement goals.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Understand permissible health center voter registration activities;
