We are individuals like yourself who care about voting rights, especially within historically underserved, underrepresented, and marginalized communities. The organizing principle of Nevada Talks is that the best messengers are the people we know. That’s why we recruit people to engage their friends and family about the issues impacting their communities.

A Community Mobilizer is anyone who is willing to talk to their network about the upcoming election, voter registration, and what’s on the ballot. You don’t need any prior experience in elections, politics, or government to be a community mobilizer. You just need to share our passion for voting rights and spread it to anyone and everyone you know.

Literally, anyone who is willing to tell the people they know how they can vote and why they should vote. We welcome folks from all backgrounds and levels of involvement.

We have worked with people who are waiters, teachers, clerks, baristas, and students to increase political participation from within their community.

To ensure that anyone who can vote, does vote. It’s that simple. At Nevada Talks, we believe the best way to achieve this end is through relational organizing – people using their personal relationships and networks to effect change.

Yes! Thanks to private donations, grants, and support from civic organizations, we are able to compensate community mobilizers up to $250 just to talk with their friends, family, and neighbors about the electoral process. All that we ask is that you talk to at least 75 friends, family, and acquaintances in your network.

We want you to encourage the people in your network to check their voter registration status, get registered to vote, and get reminders on deadlines.

Nevadans can register to vote online through the “Register to Vote” button at the top of the screen.
