Event Details
As many of you know, 18 Coffees has kicked off various projects with Vote.org to make a positive impact on democracy in 2020 -- from developing a vote-by-mail messaging toolkit, to curating high-level strategies for celebrity influencers to increase exposure on voter registration, to managing their help desk and responding to voters across the country. Now, we’re inviting our Community Partners for an exclusive community conversation with key leaders at Vote.org.
Ahead of National Voter Registration Day, we’ll be joined by Vote.org’s Director of Partnerships Nora Gilbert and Associate Director of Partnerships Alex Meadow. On Wednesday, September 16, learn from Nora and Alex what Vote.org is doing to get out the vote in a very weird election year, the challenges that are suppressing voters today, and how to continue making impact during this very important election season.
Sign up below and we’ll send you a calendar invite to save the date!
