 Summer organizing Fellowship

We are building a movement for equity and justice. All across the country, our fellows will be soldiers in the army to fight mass incarceration, voter suppression and urban gun violence. After successful completion, fellows will be encouraged to continue the Woke Vote movement across their respective cities and states. The goal of this fellowship is to train and empower people to enact change in their communities through effective outreach and partnerships.

Get Woke

Voting is a comma, not a period. Woke Vote drives power to the polls by building sustained civic engagement through empowering new community leaders. Our work, therefore, doesn’t stop after elections end. Of the many injustices, gun violence, mass incarceration, voting rights disparities, immigration among many more, cultivating an active voting community among the historically disengaged is critical to the creed of our fragile democracy.
