Prepared to Vote (PTV) engages volunteers and equips voters in key states with the information needed to protect voting rights and support Black political participation. Voting Rights Defender (VRD) project engages voters and local community partners to monitor, track, and respond to voter suppression efforts in our targeted jurisdictions to protect the right to vote.
