Voting matters for our collective future!


#VoteBig is our commitment to fueling civic engagement and strengthening our democracy in the Twin Cities and beyond. We aim to connect youth, families, volunteers and our community to voter information during the election season by providing trusted, non-partisan education. 

Youth are our future, and we want all youth to reach their full potential. Yet, the Twin Cities families and communities we serve have been impacted by  inequitable systems and policies. That’s why we are committed to fueling civic engagement and strengthening our democracy now, and for the next generation of youth in the Twin Cities through our #VoteBig initiative.

Voting is a catalyst for change, especially among underrepresented communities who have historically been denied the right to vote. When everyone has a voice, our democracy becomes stronger, and we move closer to a more just and equitable society. Join us in sparking the potential for positive change and ensuring all of our voices are heard at the polls!

Did you know? Minnesotans will soon vote on an important statewide constitutional amendment. This amendment asks whether a portion of state lottery proceeds should continue to be dedicated to funding conservation, clean water, and parks projects. It’s also important to know that if you don’t vote on the amendment, it will count the same as a “no” vote. For more information and details, you can visit the Minnesota Secretary of State’s website here.
