From the Block to the Ballot

T.O.N.E. U.P.

About the program

This non-partisan, get-out-the vote initiative centers empathy and prioritizes safety & privacy. We understand that this is larger than casting a ballot. It takes courage and strength to re-engage with the political process after being removed from it.

Our approach ensures that the newly re-enfranchised population feels valued, heard, and empowered in their journey towards civic engagement. From the Block to the Ballot (B2B) works to strengthen our democracy and to create a more inclusive and just society for all. Read the 2023 B2B report to learn more about our reach.
