2026 UU the Vote Toolkit

In this season, defending and expanding democracy remains a central moral and strategic priority.

The outcomes of this electoral cycle will shape what is possible across all our justice commitments for years to come. It is critical that we defend access to the ballot and build communities grounded in shared values that underpin democracy–interdependence, justice, and equity. We enter this work grounded in the political and spiritual conditions of our time. We are clear about how authoritarianism betrays our religious commitment to centering love and affirming universal human worth and dignity. We are equally clear about the power we hold when we act together. This moment calls us to anchor in our values, to connect authentically, and to mobilize with courage. Showing up now is about more than participation—it is about advancing our values, expanding democracy, and transforming the material conditions of our communities.

UU the Vote 2026 is an ambitious and faithful strategy to grow a powerful, values-aligned pro-democracy movement. Whatever issues call to your heart and spirit, there is a place for you here—alongside thousands of Unitarian Universalists committed to this shared work.
