What Is UU the Vote Doing?
Our local UU the Vote team has been busy in 2025! We partnered with Center for Common Ground, League of Women Voters of Williamsburg Area, and Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy (VICPP).
Our UU the Vote Team is small but mighty — and let’s grow the team for 2026! We want you to join! Email UUtheVote@wuu.org.

VOTE! YOUR VALUES DEPEND ON IT
As part of the VICPP 100% Voting Congregations campaign, we hung the 100% WE’RE VOTING banner at WUU’s entrance. Thank you Banner Team!

Most volunteers were able to cover the rising(!!) cost of stamps
