Promoting Voter Turnout & Good Trouble Congregations

For the 2022 and 2024 election cycles, SCUUJA congregations partnered with UU the Vote to increase voter registration and turnout. We mailed postcards, called and texted voters, knocked on doors, and worked with the League of Women Voters to register voters. 

In 2024 SCUUJA expanded our UU the Vote outreach, providing funding to seven congregations: Aiken, Bluffton, Charleston, Clemson, Columbia, Greenville, and Spartanburg. In this cycle, three congregations achieved the Good Trouble Congregation designation: Aiken, Charleston, and Spartanburg (out of 54 nationwide)!

Looking for something hands-on? Join us for the SCUUJA Fall Festival on October 4, 2025 for a session with several state legislators that will answer the following questions: 

• What is the best way for us to work with our state legislators? 

• What are the most impactful forms of contact when trying to influence or get in touch with our state legislators?

• How can we engage with them in providing feedback on legislation?
