Turn Up Turnout (TUT), the campus nonpartisan civic engagement organization, is inviting representatives from All Voting is Local, Campus Vote Project, student leaders, and other election law folks to pilot a new initiative called: Maize and Blue Civics. TUT is the student group in UMICH Votes, helping to successfully register over 10,000 voters from August to October for the 2024 election. Their work does not stop after elections, as they are a year-round org!
The topic of our first Maize and Blue Civics will be: The State of Voting Rights. Our goal as a nonpartisan organization that supports access to the ballot is to help inform and educate voters about the potential impact of legislation. The goal of the panel is to discuss this legislation and how students can ensure they are prepared to participate in future elections.
Please join us on Wednesday, April 16 at 6 pm in the Ford School Betty Ford Classroom (Weill Hall first-floor auditorium).
We look forward to having you!
