Election Protection Activation: Everything you need to know about protecting the polls ahead of the 2026 midterm election. >RSVP here <

Hands Off Central TX, in partnership with the League of Women Voters of the Austin Area, presents Election Protection Activation: a 2-hour workshop to get you informed and activated for protecting the most consequential election of the decade.
