The NAACP Detroit Branch has partnered with Ballot Power, a Michigan-based nonprofit, to launch a transformative Get Out the Vote (GOTV) initiative to increase voter engagement in Detroit’s underserved communities. Through the NAACP’s “Take Your Soles to the Polls” campaign, the collaboration will empower disenfranchised voters by providing critical education, registration, and mobilization resources. The initiative focuses on ensuring that every eligible voter in Detroit has the tools and information they need to make their voice heard at the polls.
Launching on Friday, September 20, the campaign will utilize a robust digital strategy to reach voters across the city, offering guidance on absentee voting, early voting procedures, and information needed for Election Day. Running until November 5, this effort highlights both organizations’ commitment to ensuring a strong voter turnout in Detroit’s underserved neighborhoods.
The initiative is dedicated to providing comprehensive voting resources to Detroit residents through a collaborative effort with local community organizations. The goal is to ensure that every individual has access to vital voting information, including guidance on how to request absentee ballots, detailed information on early voting locations, and assistance in locating designated polling places for Election Day.
Ballot Power’s advanced and user-friendly one-click platform allows voters to effortlessly create and share voting plans with their friends and family, empowering them to take an active role in shaping the future of elections.
Rev. Dr. Wendell Anthony, President of the NAACP Detroit Branch, emphasized the importance of ensuring that every voter in Detroit is fully prepared to cast their ballot and has the necessary resources to develop and empower the community to make their voices heard through the election process.
“With Ballot Power, we are bringing essential voting resources directly to the Detroit communities,” Anthony said.
