Join Detroit Jews for Justice and our Democracy Defense Team co-sponsors, Concerned Citizens Oak Park Area and Southfield Neighbors Action Committee, at an evening, in-person meeting to start planning for the general election.

We know there is a lot of work (like voter education, Get Out The Vote efforts, and more) to be done to protect our democratic rights during this election cycle and beyond. We'll focus in on planning that work and also start to think about how to get a large group of us well organized to serve as poll challengers in the general election. We'll draw on the experiences of DJJniks who served as poll challengers during the primary for this part of the meeting.

This is an exciting and pivotal moment to join our Democracy Defense Team, as attendees at this meeting will help shape the future work, goals, and functions of our team.

Please RSVP below and reach out to Laura with any questions (her email is listed at the bottom of this page!)

The Democracy Defense Team is recruiting neighbors from across metro Detroit to volunteer as nonpartisan poll challengers, host early vote parties, educate neighbors about their voting rights, and more! We'll also be training in de-escalation and peace keeping skills that we can take beyond this year's midterm election.

In coalition with Michigan Voices, the ACLU Fund of Michigan, All Voting is local and 40+ other organizations across the state, DJJ is part of the largest nonpartisan election protection program in Michigan (one of the largest in the country)! Safeguarding our democratic institutions means exercising and enforcing our democratic rights, like voting.
