**This program is hosted by our partner, Funders' Committee for Civic Participation (FCCP), who has extended an invitation to PNY members. Space is limited and will be granted on a first come, first served basis.**
As we are all aware, COVID-19 has laid asunder the thoughtful and effective plans our grantees had developed to engage voters and turn them out in what was expected to be record numbers in 2020. COVID-19 has completely disrupted traditional voter engagement activities such as door-to-door canvassing, site-based voter registration, tabling at events, and other face-to-face activities that are at the core of our grantees’ work. The Wisconsin Primary Elections highlighted how partisanship is putting voters in jeopardy by forcing unnecessary in-person voting and not providing alternative options. At the same time the Election Protection Coalition has had to immediately rearrange its strategies to protect voters in light of social distancing requirements.
