Voting Experts
We heard from voting rights experts Jenny Flanagan of the Trusted Elections Fund, Carol Kuniholm of Fair Districts PA, and Danielle Silber of the ACLU.
What’s next?
Apply to the Unstoppable Voters Workshop by June 4th at 3pm EST.
And! Mark your calendars for June 11, when we’ll open applications for Unstoppable Voters funding and project support.
What will happen in the workshop?
During the three-session workshop, participants will learn the fundamentals of creative activism from the Center for Artistic Activism, and learn about the threats to the freedom to vote–and how we can protect it–from experts at advocacy organizations around the country.
Participants will also get to know each other so they can work together to develop ideas for effective, impactful pro-democracy projects. And the team at the Center for Artistic Activism and their expansive network of trainers will help them develop their ideas, too, based on our decades of experience working on creative campaigns that win.
This workshop is part of the Unstoppable Voters 2021 project. We highly recommend attending if you plan to submit a proposal for Unstoppable Voters funding. Read more and apply here.
