SISTUHS, Incorporated—a prominent organization dedicated to the empowerment and advancement of BIPOC communities—is excited to announce the launch of its National Advocacy Campaign, which includes the Get Out the Vote (GOTV) mobilization campaign ahead of the upcoming elections.
As part of our ongoing commitment to equality, equity, and justice, this national initiative focuses on engaging members in advocacy efforts, amplifying our voices on critical issues, and promoting civic participation. GOTV is one of the key pillars of this campaign, reinforcing the importance of being involved in the decisions that shape our rights. Even in challenging times, we recognize the power of our voices through our votes.
This GOTV initiative aims to increase voter registration, education, and turnout within Black communities, highlighting the significance of civic engagement. It is designed to encourage and inspire those who may feel disheartened to make their voices heard at the polls. Your vote matters, and it is a crucial part of the collective efforts our communities undertake daily.
