About REV UP

The REV UP Voting Campaign builds the power of the disability vote through a national network of coalitions and organizations.

Building the Power of the Disability Vote

REV UP’s mission is to build the power of the disability vote through increasing civic engagement in the disability community and improving the accessibility of elections. REV UP stands for “Register, Educate, Vote, Use your Power!” Learn about REV UP’s 2024 Goals.

Grassroots, Local Leaders

Although REV UP is a national movement, we believe change happens at the local level. We also believe in the power of grassroots organizing. REV UP has coalitions in twenty states and partners across the country. Meet our state coalitions.

Advocacy Takes Many Forms

There are so many ways to participate in advocacy, including through art, music, and more!

A brown first punches through a red brick wall. The bricks have labels like “Limit absentee voting,” “long lines,” “limit early voting,” “few drop boxes,” “inaccessibility,” and “lack transportation.” Above and below the drawing, the title says Barriers to Voting. In the bottom right corner is the logo for Derek’s Doodles.
Hands of all different skin tones are raised, some of the hands hold up ballots. There is colorful confetti and ribbons all around the hands. The graphic says, “Celebrate our power.” In the bottom right corner is the logo for Derek’s Doodles.
In the center of the image there is a clipboard with a paper that says “Checklist.” It has the questions: What’s on my ballot? Will I vote in person? Where will you vote? How will you get there? What time? Am I registered? Do I have the right ID? Who to contact when I have a problem?” Beneath the clipboard, large text reads, “What’s your voting plan?” On the left, there is a man with brown skin and brown hair. A thought bubble above his head shows a calendar, a clock, and a wheelchair. On the right, there is a white person with blonde hair. A thought bubble above their head shows a car and a red school building. In the bottom right corner is the logo for Derek’s Doodles.
A cartoon of a black man sitting in front of a laptop. He has blue glasses and a red button-up shirt. His mouth is twisted and eyes are looking up as if he is in deep thought. There are question marks around his head and a thought bubble says, “What’s on my ballot?” Next to him is a picture of an “official ballot” with lots of questions on it. The graphic has two websites on it: Vote.gov and Vote411.org. In the bottom right corner is the logo for Derek’s Doodles.
