Voting Rights Champions

Clear information. Confident voters.

About

Through our Voting Rights Champions program, launched in 2020, You Can Vote trains and equips trusted community organizations to empower North Carolina voters in their networks. The program is grounded in the belief that informed participation is the foundation of a healthy democracy, and that trusted, local messengers are essential to making that participation possible.
