Women's Voting Circles 2008

The goal of Women’s Voting Circles is the civic engagement of a massive number (in this case 10,000) of “least likely to vote” women, using a sponsorship process and multiplication principle. Women already committed to a victory for Barack Obama are being organized in expanding circles, from which they shepherd currently unaffiliated citizens through the voting process.

Starting with a small circle, the number of new voters grows exponentially as more already committed voters join the circle, committed to reaching potential voters.

Each circle is independent, determining its own name, accountability, goals, strategy, and tactics. Members are responsible to each other rather than headquarters. Headquarters serves as a resource, data clearinghouse, and a tracking location.
