Every voice. Every election.
Nonpartisan voter education, registration, and election protection across Detroit and Michigan.
The people most affected by a decision are too often the least represented when it’s made.
Rent, insurance, schools, and policing are shaped by officials chosen in elections where young and working-class turnout is lowest. In Detroit, 18–24 year-olds are about 11% of residents but roughly 6% of active voters. We close that gap with trusted messengers, door-to-door conversations, and clear information on how, when, and where to vote, including for eligible voters held in jail.
