Get Out the Young Vote
Professional artists will select up to three postcards, which will be mass produced for use through the 2024 election. These cards will be available for summer events. People can take cards to mail to friends/family reminding them to register/vote. Art supplies will be provided for designing postcards onsite.
A portable display of winning artwork will be used as a backdrop at all Pop-Up events where energetic young voters will register their peers (and others) and provide information on voting. Registration events will feature poetry slams and maybe “rock-the vote” music.
