Two programs ground One Voice’s voting rights work; the MS Civic Engagement Roundtable and Election Protection Call Center. The Mississippi Civic Engagement Roundtable is a network of over one hundred non-partisan organizations dedicated to achieving an inclusive, engaged, just, and equitable state for all Mississippians by increasing voter awareness and education. In partnership with the MS NAACP, our aim for the Election Protection Call Center is to ensure that all voters have an equal opportunity to participate in the political process by tracking election concerns and complaints through a central database.
There are so many things in our community that we want to change, but we feel powerless. The good news is we’re not. The power of One Voice (YOUR VOICE) can do as much as any at a voting poll. The bad news is many feel that voting isn’t necessary. However, one vote can make a difference! The gubernatorial election is happening this year. The choice for governor, state executive, state senate, state house, and special state legislative are on the ballot. In the August primary, go to the polls and let your voice be heard, but don’t stop there. Follow up with your general election vote in November. Let’s make a difference in our community.
One Voice and the Mississippi State Conference NAACP hosts an Election Protection Program to prevent obstacles during polling to secure voting access for eligible Mississippians. We educate voters on the election process, anticipate and prepare for hurdles, and identify and respond to voter irregularities on Election Day. We work to prevent voter intimidation and suppression, elevate underserved voices, and seek opportunities to widen political participation. Call 1-888-601-VOTE if you have voting questions or concerns.
Our mission is to ensure an equal voice for traditionally silenced communities. When One Voice’s work is done, we envision a Mississippi with a healthy vibrant thriving neighborhoods, schools, economy, and most importantly families.
