"It's important and it's necessary": The Story of an EVP Volunteer
Historic. Challenging. Chaotic. Surreal: Those are just some of the many words that can be used to describe 2020. In a year that required adaptability and patience for almost every aspect of life, one thing that stood out was that over 158,000,000 Americans voted in the 2020 presidential election.
Voting is a habit, not a series of one-off transactions. And at the Environmental Voter Project, we leverage the latest behavioral science to work year-round in local, state, and federal elections to turn non-voting environmentalists into consistent super-voters. To us, every election is an important behavioral intervention opportunity.
