Hi REV UP Community,

We are excited to announce applications for the  <https://aapd.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=08dab5cd58ad9250c3f56519f&id=0b5c7e03ae&e=5def96d199> 2025 REV UP Organizer Grants are now open! This is a paid opportunity for disabled leaders to lead nonpartisan voter outreach efforts in their communities. 

REV UP stands for “Register, Educate, Vote, Use your Power” and is a movement to build the power of the disability vote through increasing civic engagement and improving election accessibility. Founded by grassroots disabled organizers, REV UP is about collective action, and our 2025 Organizer Grantees will play a key role in this work forward at the local level.

Grantees can receive up to $3,000 to host or support outreach actions to make voting more accessible.  <https://aapd.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=08dab5cd58ad9250c3f56519f&id=865c3c4a43&e=5def96d199> Read more about the REV UP Organizer Grant opportunity.

Your outreach could include:

*	Helping people register to vote
*	Providing plain language or ASL support to people during the voting process
*	Giving rides to polling places

We are especially looking for people who want to reach voters who do not live in the community and are often left out of voter engagement efforts — like people living in group homes, jails, nursing homes, or other institutions

You do not need to have experience with voter registration — we’re looking for people who care about the disability community and want to make voting more accessible. 

Deadline to apply: July 25, 2025

Apply here:  <https://aapd.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=08dab5cd58ad9250c3f56519f&id=4f9017e92d&e=5def96d199> https://forms.gle/RkabUDpFCoYHeo3s8 

Key Details:

*	Open to individuals, not organizations
*	You must be eligible to register voters in your state
*	Your outreach must be nonpartisan 
*	You’ll attend 3 virtual meetings and host at least 3 outreach events
*	REV UP will support you with materials, training, and guidance
