Updates and inspiration |
Inside Out. That’s what make You+1 different. It’s not about strangers knocking on doors, organizations sending ugly mail about candidates, or unknown social media companies posting manipulative posts. You+1 is about being with the people you know and love. It's saying, I care about the future… do you? Will you vote with me? And it's about sharing the movement with others.

The You+1 movement was created because I saw a group of underserved individuals in our population --> those individuals who care deeply but prefer to speak softly. Because we are quieter people, we don't always connect on political issues.
And that's understandable.... US political campaigns have a strong focus on the loud and negative. Television ads, postcard campaigns and telephone calls from strangers invade our space and TELL us what to believe. In contrast, the You+1 movement leverages the power of personal relationships. It invites you to reach out to your friends. You say something that is true for you, like, “I'm concerned about climate change and I want to do something that matters. I’ve found a movement that encourages voters. Would you like to join me?” The response has been amazing. I am heartened by how many people truly appreciate this quiet alternative to negative political campaigns. I love thinking about how these connections weave a tapestry of civility across the country. |
AuthorI am a visual artist from Colorado who cares about others, our climate, and our future. 100,000,000 people did not vote in the last election and yet, we are all walking into the future together. Is there something that we can do to lend a hand? ArchivesCategories |
