THE “WE” VOTE EXPERIENCE A People’s Process towards democracy in our communities, Georgia, the US, and beyond
Event Description
A edutainment (education and entertainment) experience that travels throughout Georgia showcasing entertainers, introducing solutions to community problems, and uplifting grassroots social justice organizations. We’ll also support local community infrastructure by assisting in community projects such as feed the hungry, get out to vote, community clean ups and youth development. Our goal is to bring communities together through culture and community-based organizing projects. We see this method as way to help individuals understand their responsibility in building collective power that can lead to COMMUNIY SHIFTS.
Audience
We are targeting socially conscious individuals who want to express their voice and are looking for ways to improve the current living conditions. We are looking to connect with urban and rural communities to make sure their voices are heard by our elected officials.
