Join us in Cleveland for four unforgettable days of inspiration, connection, and impact. 

Voter engagement and civic participation ensure that all Americans have a voice in policy decisions and government actions that shape our communities and impact our lives. This forum will address the political and logistical challenges to voter engagement and access to the polls. The panel will also discuss fresh strategies for grassroots organization, the registration of new voters, and how communities can best leverage their voting power. Join us for a multigenerational conversation to develop an integrated approach to create the culture we need and the future we deserve.
