NAACP - Get Out the Vote
On November 6th, Michigan residents will select a new governor, decide whether marijuana should be legalized for recreational use, and elect several state and federal lawmakers. It’s an important midterm election, and the Detroit branch of the NAACP wants to make sure Detroiters get out and vote. They’ve launched the “Take Your Soles to the Polls” campaign to increase voter turnout. Ep 4647/Seg 1
