Voting Rights Advocates, or VRAs, are our advocacy superstars. They’re the committed volunteers who devote time each month to building relationships in their communities and with their elected officials to advance pro-voter policies.
Voting Rights Advocates have access to special policy news and updates from Civic Nebraska, along with exclusive training, resources, and information to help build relationships with legislators and staff. Sign up to become an Advocate and we will connect you with your nearest Civic Nebraska Voting Rights Advocate chapter — or help you start your own.
