Come celebrate and support Movement Voter Project groups in their efforts to build a more just democracy, nationwide, in 2020 and beyond!
About This Event
From the current occupant of the White House to out-of-touch D.A.s and sheriffs, this country has never had a greater need for sweeping and decisive change. The Movement Voter Project raises funds for Black and Brown led grassroots efforts across the country that are organizing at the local level for political power and for electoral change up and down-ballot. Come celebrate and support the MVP partner groups that, even in the midst of a pandemic, are mobilizing critically important voters in their communities to make their voices heard in November!
