Every vote is a voice in decisions about schools, safety, taxes, healthcare, and the future of a community. A Deeper Dive: Who Votes? is an interactive workshop that explores why voting matters and gives participants the tools and practice to do it with confidence.Why Voting MattersWe start with a big question: who votes, and who doesn't? Participants look at how turnout differs across communities and backgrounds, and what happens when some voices go unheard. Local elections, ballot proposals, and close races show how much a single vote can matter, and what is at stake when people stay home.Break Down the BallotParticipants work through a sample ballot line by line and learn to:Read every section, from federal, state, and local offices to judicial races, ballot proposals, and millagesDecode confusing language, including what "yes" and "no" actually mean on a proposalResearch candidates and issues using reliable, nonpartisan sourcesNavigate the process, including registration, early, absentee, and in-person voting, what to bring, and what to expect at the pollsWho Should AttendAnyone who wants to understand the ballot and the power of their vote, especially first-time voters and those who have never felt sure where to start. No experience needed. The workshop is fully nonpartisan: the goal is confidence, not persuasion.Take It With YouEvery participant leaves with a voting checklist covering registration, key deadlines, and trusted resources, plus a challenge: bring one person with you to the polls.Program start time/Run of show:1p – 2p – ‘Who Votes?’ exhibit2p – Short lecture with Dr. Stacey Deering2:30p – Ballot breakdown session3p - End timeLocation The Wright Museum (Orientation Theatre)Agenda🕑: 01:00 PM - 02:00 PM‘Who Votes?’ exhibit🕑: 02:00 PMShort lecture with Dr. Stacey Deering🕑: 02:30 PM - 03:00 PMBallot breakdown session - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/detroit/who-votes-making-your-voice-count/100002002220484367 - **Event Categories**: workshops, sports, art, theatre, contests - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: The Wright Museum of African American History - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Detroit - **state**: MI - **country**: United States - **location**: The Wright Museum of African American History - **lat**: 42.3592127 - **long**: -83.0608833 - **full address**: The Wright Museum of African American History, 315 E.
