Your VOICE is needed in Gainesville!
Join our efforts and make a difference. 
YOUR CALLS Continue to MAKE A DIFFERENCE.  PLEASE KEEP CALLING DAILY!  Your support is needed!  Please make a call to the City Council of Gainesville!  They need to hear from us and from our community in Gainesville.  Call 1-844-885-2793 and you will be connected with a City Council member from Gainesville.  Tell them that the time has come to end at-large voting.  Every day, the calls will go to a new City Council member.

GALEO, along with community members in Gainesville, are working to eliminate the discriminatory at-large voting process for the City of Gainesville.  Lots of activities and actions are planned and we will need your help and support.  There is an election this year in Gainesville and this will be a major issue for that election.  YOUR engagement matters and will help.  Check out this link for more information and options on how you can help!

Your help is needed at Naturalization Ceremonies on Fridays!
Help us register new voters!
Many people will become U.S. citizens this year and will need to register to vote.

Last year leading up to the 2014 election, we registered over 7,000 New Americans at naturalization ceremonies.  So far, we have registered over 1,900 voters this year.  Volunteers are needed on Fridays to help us with this initiative. Please volunteer if you can!

There are many options in June and July for ceremonies on Fridays this year at USCIS in Tucker, GA and other places.  Are YOU able to volunteer with us any on Fridays?  Let us know by sending an email to samuel@2014old.galeo.org to confirm your participation.  Please let us know the time frame of your availability on Fridays and please provide your cell phone number too.  Typically, the sessions are scheduled for 8 AM, 11 AM and/or 1 PM.  We will coordinate with you on which of these you can volunteer for.  Also, we will follow up with you with more details once you confirm.  Feel free to invite friends too!

There will be training necessary for all volunteers before going to the naturalization ceremonies.  If you have any questions, please send an email to Samuel Aguilar, GALEO Program Coordinator at samuel@2014old.galeo.org for more details.
