What it reported doing in 2024

VOTER EDUCATION/DOOR TO DOOR CANVASINGTo inform and educate community members about the electoral process, voting rights, and key community issues, and to listen about what matters most to community members. We hosted events that had non-partisan information on the importance of voting, how to register, and how to participate in local, and state, elections. Educational materials, like pamphlets, were created and distributed through various channels such as social media, community centers, and local events. Collaborations with local organizations, schools, and community groups help extend the reach of these educational efforts. We also collected and analyzed data and trends from these conversations and events.
