We are FIRED UP about empowering voters and defending democracy—and we want you to join us! Mark your calendar for our Get Fired Up About Voting Party on Monday, Oct. 20, from 6–7:45 p.m. at the Advanced Learning Library. This will be an action-packed evening full of hands-on ways to strengthen our democracy and help more voices be heard at the ballot box. What’s Happening at the Party? **Postcard Power Station Get creative while making postcards with non-partisan messages that encourage voter registration and participation. We’ll provide pre-printed postcards, colorful pens, stickers, stamps, and lists of low-propensity voters to reach. **Fire Up Others Help spread the word through the Voter to Voter network or GOTV (Get Out the Vote) phone bank. A quick call or text could be the nudge someone needs to cast their ballot. **Fire Up Your Candidates Do the candidates in your district have their priorities listed on Vote411.org? If not, you’ll learn how to contact them as a constituent and encourage them to share their platforms. We’ll have resources like “Things to Know” and Sedgwick County Election Office information on hand. **Protest Sign Station Never been to a protest? Or maybe you have, but want to refresh your message? Come make your own non-partisan protest sign using the supplies and sample slogans we’ll provide. This is more than just a party—it’s a chance to take meaningful action, connect with others, and stand up for democracy. We hope to see you there!
