One Nation, One Dream: VOTE

One Nation, One Dream: VOTE is our 2010 campaign to register immigrant voters and persuade voters to get out to vote as a part of ICIRR's integrated civic engagement program called the New Americans Democracy Project (NADP). NADP is an integrated campaign to increase civic participation through voting, citizenship and volunteerism in order to build power for the immigrant community. We prioritize new and infrequent immigrant voters in regions of high Latino, Asian, Arab, and Polish populations (according to census and voter data).

Our goals in 2010:

• Raise $413,730 to run our campaign
• Register 22,000 new voters in densely immigrant communities
• Contact 73,421 voters (not including new registrants) in Latino, Asian and Arab and/or Muslim communities through combinations of door and/or phone
• Recruit 61,000 “Immigrant Voters” (Individuals that sign cards pledging to vote, and endorsing 2010 Immigrant Platform)
• Recruit 16 New Americans Democracy Project Fellows/Organizers
• Recruit 100 volunteer “Vote Captains”
• Recruit 6,600 volunteers on Election Day
• Identify 5,000 LPR’s eligible to become citizens immigrants
• Organize a Voter Convention in mid October with over 5,000 attendees, with Gubernatorial and Senatorial candidates answering questions around our platform.

One Nation, One Dream: VOTE is a non-partisan civic engagement program that seeks to impact the immigrant-related issues that our membership and allies prioritize. To learn about the values we hold as an immigrant community, please check out our Issue Platform.
