What are we doing and why?
Small conversations
make a big impact.
The SouthSide Voting Challenge is simple: neighbors talking to neighbors. Our goal is to increase voter turnout by 5%. Your challenge? Talk to three people you know about voting and encourage them to participate. By talking with neighbors and getting involved, we're building community power so the South Side can be heard.
- I will vote.
- I will encourage three others to vote.
