Are you ready to learn how to strengthen and mobilize voter engagement?  Do you want to renew your enthusiasm and be a part of supercharging our local civic community? Our program will provide the information we need as an organization and as citizens to pursue this goal. 

The program will provide an overview of LWV’s Unite and Rise initiative, which aims at increasing voter engagement and turnout for 2026 by 8.5 million voters. Kayla Jones will describe how the civic engagement coalition United By Change in Hamilton County started and provide the lessons we can learn from its successes and struggles. UBC’s success has provided the model for building a similar coalition here--the Tri-Civics coalition, in which LWV NETN is a founding organization. Collaboration provides crucial support, shared knowledge, and greater reach for local causes. It amplifies our impact and builds a stronger, more unified voice right here in our community.

Our meetings are open to anyone in the community. They are also live-streamed on our Facebook page and then posted on our YouTube channel. Please come and bring a friend! Light refreshments will be served.
