Join RxVote
The campaign is led by
the Civic Health Alliance
in collaboration with other values-aligned organizations
Our goal is a simple one, to increase civic participation amongst health professionals
and those we serve through voter engagement.
WHY IT MATTERS
If voting is a sign of a healthy democracy, we are in need of serious interventions.
Historically, doctors tend to vote less often than the general public. The same is true for low-income populations and other marginalized communities. We know that poverty, systemic racism, and economic disparities adversely impact the ability of the average American to vote. So, too, does ease of voting access and voter registration.
Building on decades of work organizing and leading health professionals in service of civic engagement, we aim to mobilize our peers and patients to vote.
