TURN UP TO TURN OUT
Turn Up to Turn Out is a summer event series held during the early voting period that sparks sustained political engagement, encourages artistic expression, and inspires voting. Our goal: To redefine what a political event looks like and increase youth voter turnout in Minnesota primary elections!
All events will include youth-specific civic resources and opportunities for action on your terms.
