What we’re building

Action today. A vision for tomorrow.

Born in Queens. Built to grow.

VOTEFEST

Music. Art. Community.
The power of the vote.

Young leaders and longtime organizers are building an intergenerational, multiracial coalition that connects voting with the issues people care about. After five VOTEFESTs, we’re developing a model communities can adapt for 2028.
