#VoteThatJawn
Sat, Sep 22
|WHYY Hamilton Commons
Using the power of youth voice and connection, we aim to bring 18-year-olds and other first time voters to the polls in 2018—beginning a process toward full participation in 2020—not just for a charismatic candidate, but to advocate for youth safety, agency, and inclusion. We hope you'll join us.

About the event
We’re planning the 9/22 Jawn, from 2-4pm, in the Hamilton Commons at WHYY, as a cross between a conference and a talk show to get real work done with energy. We will gather in small groups, from schools and other organizations, to meet one another in a common cause: to come up with the best ideas and strategies to bring new young voters to the polls this November. To do that, the groups will come up with their own strategies during workshops—after being prepared for the task by experts in how to increase voter turnout. Here's how the afternoon will unfold:
1:30 Doors Open
Registration, food, music, mingling. Check out the voting machine, courtesy of the City Commissioner; register to vote on site; talk to the Commissioner's staff about how to register others. Introverts can slide over to the Free Library's book bike for a moment away from the crowd.
