What is Voices for Votes?
Voices for Votes, sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania School of Social Policy & Practice (SP2) will be a nonpartisan, moderated discussion held at Fitts Auditorium at Penn Law School on Saturday, September 19, 2015 from 11 am – 2pm. This interactive forum, including a distinguished panel of experts, will focus on what a diverse community of voters and voters-to-be feel are the most pressing social justice issues facing the world today that must be addressed in the 2016 election.

Who is the target audience for Voice for Votes?
Voices for Votes will cast a wide net to include not just Penn faculty, staff, and students, but also community organizations, policymakers, affinity groups, and a bevy of other unique and multi-generational individuals throughout the region.

What is the goal of Voices for Votes?
Via conversations generated in Voices for Votes, SP2 hopes to provide a forum in which people from diverse communities — regardless of race, creed, political affiliation, economic status, age, etc., — have a safe and structured outlet wherein they can voice their opinions and gain practical knowledge to make a difference at the polls, as well as in their communities.
