With so much happening in our communities both locally and nationally, we understand it can be hard to keep up with the latest virtual events.

Advancement Project National Office is here to help!

To keep you up to speed, we have compiled a list of things you don’t want to miss this month.

 


 

Vote-By-Mail Training

 

What are the most important things voters should be aware of when it comes to vote-by-mail? What policies should states enact to ensure vote-by-mail is accessible to voters of color? How can organizers best educate voters of color on their options for casting a ballot in by mail?

 

Join Advancement Project National Office on Thursday, July 9 at 5:00 p.m. ET for a Vote-by-Mail Training as we provide guidance and best practices on these topics and more!
