We Must Vote Inc

We Must Vote, Inc. conducted a Rural Rapid Response Initiative, primarily across the Mississippi Delta region. We visited homes and conducted meetings giving the rural residents information on voting and answering questions that many of them had about their impact. We also conducted voter registration at community colleges in rural areas. We handed out t-shirts as incentives for registration at the colleges, and we also used poll workers for the election that took place during this initiative and paid them a stipend for their work. Hopefully many of them will volunteer to work the polls when they complete their college education.

We Must Vote conducted a Re-Entry/Parole Initiative and subsequent Expungement Clinics to assist those persons about to be released from incarceration.

We Must Vote, Inc. conducted expungement clinics and re-entry/parole initiatives as well as college recruitment during the year. We paid stipends to college students for their assistance, and purchased tee-shirts for newly registered voters.
