Voters Not Politicians Education Fund (Voters Ed Fund), in partnership with the North Flint Neighborhood Action Council and Concerned Pastors for Social Action, recently hosted the “Flint Voter Access Town Hall.” There, the many residents who attended were able to discuss how to navigate new changes to Michigan’s voting laws as community leaders addressed expectations of voter turnout and answered questions from the community.
The Flint Voter Access Town Hall is part of a total campaign that is looking to make sure that historically marginalized communities in our democracy are engaged and informed in this upcoming election year, according to Melinda Billingsley, communications manager for Voters Not Politicians.
The Town Hall was held on Tuesday, Jan. 30, at the Flint Development Center.
Billingsley pointed out it was part of the My City Votes 2024 Campaign, which includes other municipalities.
“We’ve been to Benton Harbor, Muskegon Heights and Grand Rapids,” said Billingsley. “We’re going to Pontiac. So, all of these communities are part of a large campaign to make sure we’re hitting as many residents as possible, and getting them the correct information, straight from their local clerks – so that they are able to engage in their democratic process.”
