Learn more about Proposal 1; A proposal to convene a constitutional convention for the purpose of drafting a general revision of the state constitution.
Voter engagement is one of the most important pillars in sustaining a healthy democracy. Each and every election offers individuals a chance to shape the future of their communities. However, participation is not automatic and that is where voter engagement work begins. Engagement is intentional outreach, education, and consistent and sustained efforts to connect people with the information and resources they need to make their voices heard.
Voter engagement work is about more than encouraging people to cast a ballot. It is year-long work. It is about empowering communities, building trust in the electoral process, and ensuring that every eligible voter understands how, when, and where to participate. It is supporting the learning process and understanding the impact of decisions made at the ballot box on everyday life experiences. Effective engagement efforts focus on meeting people where they are, listening to them, and removing barriers that may prevent participation.
The goal of voter engagement is simple but powerful: to create an empowered, informed, and active electorate. By encouraging conversations, increasing awareness, and expanding access to reliable information, voter engagement work helps ensure that every voice has the opportunity to be heard, and every vote has the opportunity to count.

Nonprofits can have a stance on ballot measures in the upcoming election! As 501(c)(3) nonprofits, your organizations are legally allowed to take a stance on ballot measures because it is concerning a policy, not a candidate or political party.
Additionally, many local communities will have additional local proposals such as millage renewals, etc. that nonprofit organizations may be impacted by and can educate their community about.
