Meeting

Voting is one of the most powerful tools we have to shape our communities and demand the change we deserve. Our people have always known that self-determination is the key to freedom. And we must advance our agenda for freedom by using all the tools at our disposal, including the ballot box, to increase our power. It’s more important than ever that our people are registered, informed, and ready to vote.
