$25,000 Goal

Rideshare2Vote Aware is a non-partisan, non-profit organization dedicated to voting rights. Voting turnout in the United States is often less than 50%. Our Democracy can not survive until all Americans vote.

Our organization provides the only nationwide free, round trip rides to the polls program. The program functions all year round continuously offering rides to the elderly, disabled, students, and anyone without a means of transportation. 

We operate year round in local, state, special and national elections. Every election every year allows us to turn non voting registered voters into every election voters. 


Our Needs

Rideshare2Vote Aware is currently fundraising for 

  1. Wheelchair Vans - your donation goes to wheelchair van rentals in 11 states. 
  2. Intern program that trains activists to
    1. outreach directly to voters
    2. recruit, manage and train volunteers to fill our phone banks
    3. recruit, manage and train volunteers who serve as drivers
  3. Technology to schedule and dispatch drivers to voters - we use an uber/lyft style app to seamlessly get voters to the polls.

Bottom line, we need to raise $25,000 to achieve our goals for the 2022 midterms, and the 2023 local and state elections. Financial funds are needed to provide more wheelchair vans and transportation to the polls. Every election cycle, our free rides to the polls program offers rides to the elderly and disabled. With your help, we will be able to provide more wheelchair vans and eliminate the barriers to voter suppression. 


How we accomplish our goals 

Our professional staff and internship program work in tandem to accomplish our organizations goals. We educate and develop the next generation of activists. The organization provides interactive training programs and entry-level opportunities for high school and college students, as well as young professionals, who want to get involved in the political process. Rideshare2Vote Aware interns have the drive to make political waves, rather than wait for the waves to happen around them. Their training culminates in outreach and successfully driving voters to the polls.

Your donations go directly to decrease voter suppression and increase voter turnout.
