Summary

National Voter Registration Day in the United States is a significant effort to engage citizens in the political process, addressing the issue of over 65 million unregistered voters from the 2016 general election. PagerDuty.org is actively investing in voter engagement initiatives, focusing on underrepresented groups such as Black, brown, and COVID-19 vulnerable communities, to combat systemic racism and voter suppression. This includes a $500,000 pledge to support organizations like the NAACP, Democracy Works, and Election Protection, which use technology and grassroots efforts to facilitate voter registration and turnout while safeguarding voting rights. PagerDuty.org's commitment extends beyond financial contributions to include product donations, employee volunteerism, and collaborations with partners to enhance civic engagement and promote diversity and equity. The organization also encourages broader participation through initiatives like TurboVote, volunteer opportunities, and partnerships aimed at fostering a more inclusive and representative democracy.
