A powerful community conversation on voting, justice, and reclaiming our voice.

At VAAC, we believe every voice matters—and every vote counts. But for too many people impacted by the criminal legal system, the question isn’t just how to vote—it’s why to believe their voice still matters at all. That’s exactly what we’ll be unpacking at the upcoming Collective Voices Panel Discussion: “Why Should I Vote?” on Tuesday, June 24, from 4:30–6:30 PM in Detroit.

Hosted by our partners at Flip the Script, this event brings together justice-impacted leaders, organizers, and advocates for a bold and necessary dialogue at the University of Michigan – Detroit Center.

What to expect:

• Real talk from leaders like Dr. Marvin Cotton, Jr., Leah Mills-Chapman, and Darryl Woods, Jr., all deeply engaged in the fight for justice and dignity
• Powerful stories from people directly impacted by incarceration
• Strategies for civic engagement that go beyond the ballot box

This conversation is more than a panel—it’s part of a movement to break barriers to the ballot, shift narratives, and reclaim our political power.

RSVP now and join VAAC in building a future where all people can vote and be heard.
