Democracy Dialogues V: Building a more Civil Nation
- --- Humanity Rising Day 431 - Friday March 11, 2022 (GoTo Bottom)
This session focuses on two front line organizations — When We All Vote, founded by Michelle Obama, and Civic Nation, a Coalition of groups seeking to empower voters in areas where voting is under assault.
When We All Vote is on a mission to change the culture around voting and to increase participation in each and every election by working to close the race and age voting gap. Created by Michelle Obama, When We All Vote brings together individuals, institutions, brands, and organizations to register new voters across the country and advance civic education for the entire family and voters of every age to build an informed and engaged electorate for today and generations to come. We empower our supporters and volunteers to take action through voting, advocating for their rights, and holding their elected officials accountable.
