In 2020, UUCF volunteers formed an organizing team to lead UUCF in its efforts to get out the vote for the November 2020 elections. The efforts centered around encouraging voter registration and helping to end voter suppression. The team included Susan Bennett, Betsy Bicknell, Kaye Cook, David Heagy, Sharon Johnson, Marcia Tugendhat and Karen Wolf, with assistance from Social Justice Coordinator Andrew Batcher. With the election in the past, the team has turned its efforts toward actions to increase turnout and counteract suppression on the local and state levels.
