Year End Giving Builds Year Round Civic Power

The need has not slowed. The barriers have not disappeared. And our work cannot pause.

As the year comes to a close, we are deeply grateful for the community that makes this work possible. At the same time, we are clear about the reality across Michigan. People impacted by incarceration, poverty, homelessness, and housing instability continue to be excluded from full participation, and those barriers show no signs of slowing. The urgency of this work cannot be overstated.

In these final days of the year, we need your support to sustain voting access and strengthen civic power in the communities facing the greatest barriers, ensuring justice impacted communities are not left behind as we approach the 2026 midterms.

This has been a challenging year for voting rights. Across Michigan and the country, hard won access is being rolled back through misinformation, voter purges, and policies designed to make participation harder for people already pushed to the margins.

VAAC continues showing up every day inside jails, shelters, and reentry programs. Without immediate support, this work risks slowing at a critical moment.
