Learn How Civics Strengthens Your ERG

Supporting civic participation makes your ERG stronger, not busier.

Helping your members feel informed and confident about voting isn’t just good for our country. It’s genuinely good for your ERG. Here’s how:

Builds connections inside your group

When people learn together, show up to events together, or even just swap “I voted” selfies, it creates a shared experience that strengthens community, which is the heart of every ERG.

Boosts your ERG’s visibility and credibility

Running a clear, nonpartisan civics effort shows leadership your ERG can deliver helpful, compliant programming that supports culture. It’s an easy way to demonstrate impact without needing a big budget or complicated planning.

Reinforces your mission

Whether your ERG focuses on empowering introverts, uniting caregivers, connecting veterans, or racial and ethnic identities, civic participation directly affects your members' well-being. This work aligns naturally with the values you already champion.

Helps your members feel empowered

Voting can feel confusing or intimidating. Giving people simple, factual tools — without pressure — helps them feel more confident and capable both inside and outside the workplace.

Grows your ERG’s leadership bench

These programs create easy opportunities for members to step up, host activities, or lead small projects. It’s a low-stakes way to build confidence, skills, and internal visibility.
