Join us for an event to inspire and educate the next generation of voters!
Join us for an exciting afternoon of democracy in action:
"Ask me anything" with democracy and media experts
Connect with organizations and issue-area advocates
Meet your reps - national representatives, mayors, board of supervisors, youth commissioners and VIPs
Learn how to get ballot-ready, spot deep fakes, navigate the news, speak across differences, and get more involved
Play games to test your knowledge and win prizes
Visit over 30 booths with local and national nonprofits who do voter registration and protection, get out the vote, and advocacy on issues you care about!
