Featuring Evan Kost, America Votes National Director of Development and Investments, & Ore Obiwumi, Sister District Field Manager.
Last year, America Votes, the central coordinating hub for progressive voter engagement and education, partnered with Stacey Abrams’ Fair Fight organization to enact historical change in the Senatorial Elections. They drove more than one billion voter contact attempts to educate and mobilize underrepresented voters about voting by mail, in-person early voting, and Election Day voting last year.
Mr. Kost will share what America Votes learned in its work across 20 states, with $240 million in 231 unique grants and how they will impact upcoming election cycles.
