Volunteer Kick-Off: Voting Rights Creative Communications

December 4, 2017 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

There couldn’t be a more urgent time to work together to protect our freedom to vote.

On Monday, December 4th, we’re hosting a volunteer kick-off meeting to help fight for Automatic Voter Registration (AVR) and the Washington Voting Right Act (WVRA) during the upcoming 2018 legislative session. The meeting will focus on creative ways to use social media, design, art, technology, and other communication tactics to create change.

Automatic Voter Registration is an innovative solution that will help fix Washington’s declining voter participation rates. With AVR, eligible Washingtonians would never have to worry about updating their voter registration information or registering to vote — it’s automatic! No more complicated paperwork or frequent trips to government offices. Ten states have already passed similar reforms with tremendous success.

All are invited — artists, creatives, engineers, storytellers — to help us tell the story of the fight. If we are to succeed and overcome the powerful special interests who don’t want every eligible person participating in our democracy, we need to have a diverse team working together to get the message out and build a movement for the popular voting reforms that will make our voting systems less complicated and ensure every voice is heard and every vote is counted.

Join our volunteer kick-off meeting! Bring your ideas or join a project at the meeting.

When: Monday, December 4th 6:00-7:30pm
What: Volunteer kick-off meeting. Learn more about the upcoming campaign for Automatic Voter Registration and the Washington Voting Rights Act. Bring ideas for how we engage new audiences and build a movement for change.
Where: Fuse Washington’s office (1402 3rd Ave, Seattle WA)
PIZZA and snacks will be provided.

Invite your friends!
