NM CAFe Reports Success in Getting Out the Vote for the Primary Election
Las Cruces, June 5, 2012- NM Communidades en Accion y de Fe (CAFe) staff and dozens of volunteers continue to make a final push to the polls today. In the past 2 weeks since the launch of CAFe’s
“Land of Opportunity” campaign, approximately 30 trained volunteers have been involved in phone banks and canvassing neighborhoods all across Dona Ana County to turn out people of faith and unlikely voters to the polls. CAFe is one of only two organizations in Dona Ana County that are targeting unlikely and inactive voters across the county.
The “Land of Opportunity” civic engagement campaign is part of a 10-state civic engagement campaign that works to turn out people of faith to the polls. The “Land of Opportunity” campaign is a non-partisan campaign to increase participation in the electoral process and create momentum for policies that provide economic dignity for all New Mexicans.
CAFe had an ambitious goal to contact approximately 3,000 voters in 11 days across the county. We are happy to report that together - our volunteers, dedicated staff, and community partners - have reached our goal with excellent numbers. Of the registered voters contacted in Dona Ana County, 80% voters committed to vote in the primary election today. In Otero County, 100% voters of those contacted committed to voting in the primary election. The work continues as we make one final push to the polls today as we remind voters to exercise their right to VOTE TODAY!
The next phase is to register approximately 1,500 voters in Dona Ana County for the general election. All organizations, church, civic, and youth groups are welcome to volunteer. It's an excellent opportunity to learn more about our electoral process and engage with our communities across Dona Ana.
