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.

T.O.N.E. U.P. partners with the Wanton Injustice Legal Detail (WILD) and the Minnesota Justice Research Center (MNJRC) who provide volunteer coordination support and research and evaluation of the B2B process and impact. Read the most recent MNJRC report and learn more about our effective model.
