The purpose of the kansas integrated voter engagement program is to teach and develop leaders to engage voters in their communities. Specifically, faith leaders are trained to engage voters about the issues related to safe, healthy and vibrant communities and how this specifically connects to the power of voting and otherwise engaging in democracy (such as attending public meetings). Etc.) over 58,000 voters were contacted. We had an amazing response rate: typically, text banking yields 1-4% interactions but our faith leaders achieved 12%.

The kcmo civic engagement program educated voters particularly in kansas city missouri. We trained leaders on voter engagement tools, like text banking, then used those tools to increase voter turnout in low propensity areas. 38,000 voters contacted; thirteen leaders trained in missouri.

We created our voices, a group of formerly incarcerated people working to educate around voting rights and other forms of advocacy
