Hey John,
Before we get to Our Power in the States, we must acknowledge the injustice of police violence and the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, WI. There is no excuse to pull a gun on a peaceful man with his back turned. No excuse to shoot him 7 times in front of his children. No excuse not to take responsibility for it.
Join MFOL Wisconsin’s phone bank to call the Kenosha Mayor’s Office and demand accountability and divestment.

In 2018, we spent the entire summer on the road. And then we did it again in the fall with the Vote For Our Lives tour, rallying young voters to turn out at the polls. And it worked. Like, really well. In the 2018 midterm elections, young voters hit a 100-year high. [[link removed]] 🧡
With so much on the line in the 2020 election, we’re engaging young voters again (in a socially-distant, responsible way!) in nine key states where youth voters can make a real difference. We’re bringing art and activism together in a series of public art interventions and digital rallies to register, organize, and mobilize young voters ahead of the election. This is Our Power in the States: Vote For Our Lives. [[link removed]]

Each of the nine cities we’re going to will have a large-scale, on-the-ground, art intervention for local residents that will raise awareness on the systemic issues that cause gun violence -- like racial injustice, immigration, healthcare, and economic inequality (just to name a few). Of course, each art intervention will be paired with voter registration, as well as digital rallies and phone banks. And we’re doing this with a coalition of inspiring partners like United We Dream, Sunrise Movement, International Indigenous Youth Council and so, so many more.
Want to find more about all our nine stops? Or the mini voter registration centers we’re putting up in Atlanta? The papel picado in Phoenix? The voter reg storefront takeover in Houston? Or want to help us register more people?

We know change starts at the local level. We know that local and state governments have led the way for safer laws that protect all our communities. We’re doubling down this year. You in? [[link removed]]

P.S. This is all part of Our Power 2020 -- we’re going to make it easier for young people to vote by mail, arguing for better voting access with Brady, and running ads in every state we’re visiting to get young people to turn out. That’s only possible with support from families across America -- chip in today to help fund our voter registration efforts . [[link removed]]
