take action: Elected Officials
How you can protect our democracy
Local elected officials play a vitally important role in our communities and in our democracy as a whole.
As part of our broader efforts to raise awareness of the threats to our future elections and the peaceful transfer of power, we are working with members of our Young Elected Officials network to introduce and pass resolutions putting local governments on record in support of honoring the bedrock foundation of our democracy, respecting the will of the voters.
You can find a sample resolution below. Feel free to take this template and adapt the language to your own locality.
