About VUOTS Voices to Votes Project
The goal of this project is to create a movement. A movement that will address the oppositional questions around voting and civic power. The "Voices to Votes" movement was created by VUOTS, to ask the awkward questions that plague urban communities and hinder their voting participation. VUOTS hopes are to change the narrative by highlighting Voices to Votes when youth in Black & Brown communities ask the question, "Why should we VOTE"? And can rational explain their own personal choice on voting and judicial policies and parties.
