Nicole Ramsey - ICF- Project FAIRH, Bristol, MA 00:33:14 Nautica Williams: Good Afternoon , Nautica Williams -PT Partners Bridgeport CT 00:34:17 CHELSEA cramer: hi is anyone, such as a citizen, when trying to inspire others to register to vote, am I allowed to provide forms and/or direct resources, help people fill the voters registration forms out, and collect them and turn them in to our resource so the voters registration applications can be processed legitimately? 00:35:37 CHELSEA cramer: thank you 00:36:41 Jan@RTFH: Jan Walton - Regional Task Force on Homelessness - San Diego, CA 00:36:50 Jada Cerniwey: What advice do you have for outreach or organizing events with residents who might be extremely difficult to contact or follow up with? How would you incentivize or impress on them the importance of engaging with this process? 00:39:38 Marsh Santoro: I am also encouraging marginalized people to get involved in their local governments, let our voices be at the tables and voting for the majority not the few. 00:41:56 Kathy Ahlers: Voting helps yourself, and also your neighbors, people of all ages—quality childcare, tax relief for parents or grandparents/other relatives raising children, justice policies, too. 00:42:12 Cassandra Marr: Wow! I like that approach, Gloria. Many people do not take those factors into account. That should make a huge difference. 00:42:27 Bridget Childs: It’s very easy to encourage people that haven’t lost housing during the pandemic. I work with people on the street or in shelters and they no longer believe in the voting system. 00:42:47 Rene Tarver: How do you engage younger individuals? 00:43:05 Nicole Ramsey: Apologies, that was my mistake! 00:45:52 CHELSEA cramer: your voice matters? but possibly, get to know the person. ask questions about their likes, their goals.l, when they lost hope if applicable. notice. what can I do that could help you gain hope again? then we can do the research, or have prior knowledge if we specialize in politics, and government, and originate with them and inspire them to feel a sense of hope again. we can do this by finding similarities between each other, government, voting, elective officials. 00:45:53 Hasson Rashid: Hello everyone, I just join you all. I’m Hasson Rashid from Cambridge,MA. 00:46:37 Rene Tarver: I find that the individuals l talk with do not know the basics. For instance, "Vote for your housing". Answer , " but how do I know who to vote for?" Research. But that may not be their skill set.. 00:48:02 CHELSEA cramer: and Mental Health. don't be afraid to open up about mental health in every community. the more natural mental health seems, without stigma, without judgement, offer people mental health help and support, connect people to resources. you want to get people to vote? possibly start with the underlining challenge that is keeping someone from being engaged in community. 00:49:13 CHELSEA cramer: the challenges are deeper than just not understanding how to realize and research what a runner believes in. 00:50:03 CHELSEA cramer: they can indeed believe in adaptive as long as not contradictory 00:50:10 keely nguyen: What are tips for keeping candidates accountable to their people for an organization that endorses candidates? 00:51:02 Kathy Ahlers: Yes!!! Contacting your elected officials for both to thank the and to hold them accountable, it gets them familiar with your name, and tells them that people are watching their actions. It’s surprising how few people will contact elected officials, so you will have boosted power by showing up and speaking up! 00:54:42 Sharon Hill: Very important, your story matters!! 00:54:52 Sharon Hill: Hold them accountable! 00:54:54 Vanessa Vaile: Remind them that not only do you vote but have adult children , nieces, nephews and grandchildren who also vote. 00:57:39 Kathy Ahlers: There are a lot of checks and balances in voting systems. For example, in Minnesota, there are equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans serving as election workers at the polling places, and there’s a double-checking of the number of registration slips and the number of votes in each voting precinct. 00:59:00 Viviana Huerta: suggestion: have both sample ballots to give out. 00:59:22 Gabriel Kirkpatrick: Well stated Mattie H! 00:59:40 Kathy Ahlers: One of the things that’s a very moving thing to do is go to a Naturalization ceremony of people becoming citizens and gaining the right to vote…to see how important it feels to finally have the right to be heard with their vote! 01:00:51 Kristal Thompson: I truly enjoyed this panel, very inspiring and motivational 01:02:08 Keith Tamura: Is there any outreach for homeless? 01:02:34 Rhonda Stevison: Yes Enid Street outreach 01:04:29 Vanessa Vaile: Help inform residents about ballot issues and where candidates on issues that matter to them. 01:09:19 Heather Hampton: Takeaways from the meeting 👉💬 [ ] Host voter registration drives and information sessions in multiple buildings over a few days in September/October.
