At the summit, YP4 will partner with Woke Vote, a local organization committed to mobilizing historically disengaged voters of color and investing in the activation, long-term engagement, training and development of new organizers.
The 2019 YP4 Civic Engagement Summit will center the conversation on how young people and communities can dictate the transformation of this country by actively participating in all elections. Through robust workshops, keynotes and strategy sessions, the Civic Engagement Summit will contextualize how engagement in the 2020 elections and the census is the critical first step to actualize the collective vision they create for 2030.
