We’re hitting the road in honor of the 60th Anniversary of Freedom Summer with a mission to register as many of the more than 200,000 unregistered voters in our state.
This tour seeks to celebrate the people’s win in realizing a second majority-minority Congressional House seat! It’s time to stand in our power and ensure that every eligible voter has their voice heard in the upcoming election on November 5th, 2024.
Our tour will feature inspiring speakers, provide essential tools, and offer training to equip voters with the information they need. We hope you will join us to volunteer and engage with us to increase voter registration across the state. We also invite community based organizations, churches and neighborhood associations to join us in registering and getting out the vote.
Sign up to attend a tour stop near you and join hundreds of volunteers in making this initiative a success. Don’t see a tour stop in your city? Let us know, and we’ll do our best to bring the tour to you!
