VAAC ambassadors have been out in communities across Michigan, bringing voter and civic education into places where people are already gathering, finding resources, and connecting with one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past couple of weeks, we\u2019ve joined a back-to-school event in Highland Park, community programs in Detroit, and National Voter Registration Day outreach at the Robert J. Delonis Center in Ann Arbor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At each stop, VAAC has been sharing accurate voting information, answering questions, helping eligible community members register to vote, and helping people prepare for the November election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve been sharing photos and updates from this work on<\/strong> Instagram<\/strong><\/a> y<\/strong> Facebook<\/strong><\/a>. Take a look at where we\u2019ve been, then help these posts reach more people by liking, commenting, and sharing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4th Annual Pull Up & Play Back to School Day<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Back-to-school season brought families together in Highland Park for the 4th Annual Pull Up & Play Back to School Day<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The afternoon included school-supply giveaways, games, food, and resources for parents, while VAAC was there sharing voter education and registration information with community members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Events like this bring important resources into one place for families and neighbors, and VAAC was more than ready to add practical voting information to the mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to the organizers for creating a day centered on young people, families, and community support!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voter Education at Crossroads of Michigan<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

VAAC spent time at Crossroads of Michigan<\/strong> in Detroit talking with community members about voting rights and preparing for the November election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People had the opportunity to check their registration, get registered if needed, look at a sample ballot, learn about early voting, absentee voting and Election Day voting, and ask their voting questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is part of VAAC\u2019s ongoing work to build relationships with shelters and social service organizations and bring voter education, civic education, and registration support directly to the people they serve, both during election season and throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to Crossroads of Michigan for welcoming VAAC and creating space for these conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
