Thanks to Fred Markus for bringing up one of the most powerful tools around: voting! Just wanted to let folks also know about an opportunity in Minneapolis to help in getting out the vote among low-income renters and people experiencing homelessness. Here's the info:
As part of the National Low-Income Housing Coalition national voter registration effort being kicked off on July 22nd, HousingMinnesota will co-sponsor this clinic with the Minnesota Coalition for the Homeless and the Minnesota Participation Project. Topics covered at this FREE training include: Effectively registering low-income renters and people experiencing homelessness to vote; demystifying the 2004 voter registration card; answering questions about who can and cannot vote; addressing residency concerns; and rules on same-day registration. The training will take place on July 22nd from 8:30 AM-10:00 AM at the Minnesota Church Center, 122 West Franklin Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55404. For further information and to pre-register please contact Ben Laaser at Minnesota Coalition for the Homeless by e-mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or by phone at 612-870-7755.
