We are a non-partisan campaign to turn out the vote by activating barbershops and salons as voter engagement hubs in their communities.
Join today, or tell your local barber/stylist.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Our program involves three simple steps:
1. DISPLAY
Put up posters and mirror clings to remind clients of registration and election dates.
2. DISCUSS
Ask clients: “Are you registered to vote?” & “Whats your plan to vote?”.
3. DISTRIBUTE
Give clients voter information handouts and registration forms.
Three easy actions to empower you and your clients and turn your local influence into impact. We'll be there with you to help every step of the way.
Sign up using this link and we'll mail you a Shape Up The Vote 'kit' with everything you need. If we're in your city, maybe we'll even drop in to say hi.
WHY BARBERSHOPS
Barbershops are more than a business.
You don't just cut hair, you give us confidence. In this time of social isolation, a public health crisis, economic collapse, unprecedented activism, and in an election year, you are uniquely positioned to hold a space for dialogue.
As a barber, you are a local influencer and you hold power. Shape Up The Vote empowers you to recognize and deploy that influence in local and national elections.
“Being a barber is about taking care of the people.”
- ANTHONY HAMILTON
