A One-Stop Guide to Taking Election Action

Third Act CT wants to make it easy for members to join the fight to support individual participation at all levels of government and to help preserve a functional and transparent democracy that serves the welfare of all people and our planet.

Each month through the November election season, we will offer a link to our Defending Democracy Actions Portal. Updated regularly, the portal provides information and guidance on how to take part in a range of election-related activities. The activities include protests/rallies, legislative advocacy, canvassing, phone- & text-banking, post carding, poll working, and letter-writing; the portal also will highlight the most urgent, near-term calls to action.

We encourage members to visit the portal regularly — and take the opportunity to help make a difference in safeguarding our democracy.
