Mississippi Votes is a coalition of young people who are taking the lead in voter mobilization in Mississippi. Through grassroots organizing, Mississippi Votes encourages civic engagement and educates communities on voting rights. In their first year, MS Votes recruited over 400 statewide volunteers and registered over 4,000 voters. MS Votes believe that organizing evokes a spirit of self-determination in the hearts of Mississippians that urges them to move beyond the voter registration tables and polls, but ultimately into positions of power.
