2019 Year In Review

News, Uncategorized / /

In 2019, Tomorrow We Vote presented to over 8600 people in 40 events which include 22 High School presentations and resulted in 744 voter registrations of Arizona students – most of whom will be voting for the first time in November 2020. Our approach to directly address students where they are with an education focus is working. And we also registered and updated information for 132 other residents. Our Accountability Surveys also hit over the 500 mark. We look forward to 2020 and hoping to double the results we’ve had here. That will take volunteers, donations, and a lot more time before the November 3, 2020 elections come. The youth are resilient and so are we. As long as they have a thirst to obtain knowledge on the importance of voting in their interests, we’ll be there to urge and encourage them! If you’d like to have Tomorrow We Vote present to your high school or college, please contact us at [email protected] or call us at 480-500-8116. You can also visit www.tomorrowwevote.org and contact us there. If you’re an Arizona resident and would like to complete the Accountability Survey, please do so at http://twv.cz/account Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat – @tomorrowwevote

New Year, New Changes at Tomorrow We Vote!

Uncategorized / /

New Year, New Changes at Tomorrow We Vote! Happy New Year and welcome 2026! It’s been a hard road for many in 2025 – especially in the nonprofit arena where everything is dependent on the funding of individuals, outside donors, and grants. For Tomorrow We Vote, we moved forward with our mission of registering new voters inside of high schools and educating those to spread voter information throughout the state. Despite our efforts, due to a lack of funding and support, our office space was forced to close on October 1, 2025. This space offered solace to many, many individuals who would stop by for a peaceful outlet due to harsh worlds around them. It was an organizing space for local organizations to conduct business meetings, coordinating protests and rallies, org monthly and annual workshops, phone banking, volunteer planning and so much more.  Our Office Space The Tomorrow We Vote front office space was for small or new orgs who didn’t have a home but needed space to help with their projects. Our only requirement was to be nonpartisan and help the greater good. We registered so many voters who stopped by and needed a helping hand or personal assistance. We even helped others create their organizations with the information we had available. We held birthday and engagement parties, movie nights, dance nights, large vendor events, and assisted as a resource for those who needed help with their ballots in each election. We stayed busy giving our time and energy to the community despite a lack of reciprocity. For Tomorrow We Vote, we believe all progressive organizations in Arizona have a responsibility to help others obtain the goal of a better tomorrow through uplifting, support, sharing. But sadly, that’s not what has happened. What Do Funders Want? We learned that funders don’t simply want an organization that registers and educates voters – despite our unique access directly to high school students inside of their classrooms. They want everything else that is emotionally-tied due to current event issues included. Many organizations are self-focused thus creating a barrier to progress – mostly due to fighting for limited funding despite some having millions of dollars in the bank and smaller organizations having almost nothing.  Grantors AND funders will reject you for being Black and Brown-led and have fallen for the anti-DEI sentiment. We couldn’t allow people to force us to ignore our identity for money. That’s not resistance. That’s acceptance. So, it opened Tomorrow We Vote as a Black and Brown-led organization to become a target of defunding. Despite the efforts of our good friends and partners at MassLib AZ building a coalition for funding Black-led projects, it fell on deaf ears from funders out of fear from the current administration’s anti-DEI attacks. The Future of Tomorrow We Vote So, this year, in 2026, we’ll be winding down operations a lot more than we already have. We’ll go purely digital at Tomorrow We Vote and make appearances for those who have supported us over the years when asked. With a lack of funding, we can’t pay ourselves and we’ve already gone years sacrificing salaries for the communities. But it’s reached a breaking point and operating for any movement should never be free. We wish everyone well who is fighting the good fight and looking out for each other and making strides to unify behind a mission of improving Arizona for our future generations. We’ll work toward registering and helping those for the 2026 mid-terms and see what happens next. Please support each other in the future! Because others (with partisan agendas of division) who have penetrated our high schools and colleges are better unified, universally funded, and organized. Cheers!

After the Protest, Now What? – Here are Four Action Items You Can Do Today!

Leave a Comment / News / /

After the Protest, Now What? – Here are Four Action Items You Can Do Today! What should be your next steps after protesting. Peacefully protesting is a right protected by the first amendment of the United States Constitution. Many Americans show up to protests in large numbers to stand up for or against what they believe in. Protests come in all forms; some stand on street corners or parks with signs they’ve created. Some have boycotted products, stores, or individuals who don’t stand for their own values. Others may stand by themselves with a bullhorn and speak toward their grievances. But what do you do AFTER the protest is over? What is the follow-through?  You may see some people post and share photos and videos online of their activism. Others may become inspired to want to continue the action and show up to future protests. But there are options we have that go beyond the protesting and make continued, sustaining action. Let’s get into it! #1 Donating to a worthy cause that aligns with your beliefs Creating creative protest signs are entertaining and feel good but they have short-term effects. However, donating your money to a cause can go much further. When you donate to a cause, you’re investing your dollars into something you believe in. Your investment will have a direct cause-and-effect to what you intend. For instance, Tomorrow We Vote directly access high school students and educates them on voting as well as registers them on the spot. We also have a community center which we hold events educating the public on civic education, voting, and much more. If this aligns with your beliefs, you can donate to our cause and support us beyond protesting. If you become a monthly donor, you can get even more via our Club TWV. How much are you spending on coffee, streaming subscriptions (you don’t use much), or spur-of-the-moment Amazon purchases you use only use once? Likely, those alone could power Tomorrow We Vote to reach 20 new voters. Imagine the impact you have! If Tomorrow We Vote isn’t your only interest, you can donate to other causes and organizations as well. Search each one to find where your investment will go furthest and make that donation. If you need to ask questions, feel free to reach out about Tomorrow We Vote. But if you’d LIKE to donate to Tomorrow We Vote or become a Club TWV member, click the button below. DONATE HERE JOIN CLUB TWV #2 Volunteering for a cause or organization We know your time is very valuable. But is all of your time taken up? If you can find a few hours a week or a month to spare to donate to a cause or organization, you should do it! Community organizing needs community to function and move forward. Not only will you become a physical extension to that cause or organization, you’ll become a person who can help lead in it’s success. We at Tomorrow We Vote can always use great, enthusiastic, volunteers who would like to share ideas, get involved, and help educate Arizona’s young people and first-time voters on reasons why they should participate in the voting process. You are VERY MUCH needed in these circles! Your time and energy can be as valuable as your dollars. Protesting is great for the moment, but volunteering puts those moments into lasting action! If you’re interested in volunteering for Tomorrow We Vote, click the button below to get started! And share with a friend or two. VOLUNTEER INFO #3 Sharing information to spread messages of action The internet can be a great place to share information quickly and safely. From the comfort of your phone or computer, we’re able to seek out information (or create it) and share it with the world in seconds. Sharing on social media is typically 100% free and costs nothing to the sender. After a protest, you can log online to a supporting organization and spread their message in which you agree and support.  You can follow Tomorrow We Vote on all major social networks. Just search @tomorrowwevote on YouTube, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, Facebook, LinkedIn and others. If you see something you like, freely follow the account and share any posts you like. This helps give exposure to Tomorrow We Vote while also helping educate about voting information. Follow other organizations and individuals you feel align with your beliefs. Follow and Share on Social Media Facebook-f Threads Youtube Snapchat Instagram Linkedin Globe-americas #4 Join an Organizational Newsletter Most organizations who serve the community have a newsletter you can join. All you have to do is give your name and email and subscribe. The benefit to this is being informed directly in your email on how you can serve your community. They can give details on meetings, instructions on aftercare to avoid burn-out, and more. Tomorrow We Vote has had newsletter announcements for our community events and volunteer opportunities. These newsletters give direct action beyond protests and help guide those who want to become more engaged. If you want a quick start into how to become a more engaged citizen with information and education on how to serve, join our newsletter below. It’s quick and easy to do. Look out for events and keep in touch with Tomorrow We Vote or any organization you decide to subscribe to. As you can see, there are several ways you can take action in safe and effective ways after a protest. Protesting is great for being seen but backing it all up with action is what has changed laws in this land. Let us know what you’d like to do and give us your ideas. We may be able to implement them in the Tomorrow We Vote framework to help get more people educated about voting.

Black and Latino Americans, We Have A Voter Turnout Problem

News / /

Black and Latino Americans, We Have A Voter Turnout Problem The 2024 Presidential Election Turnout The 2024 Election was hotly contested and as a result, nearly 73.6% (or roughly, 174 million people) of voting age citizens registered to vote. Of that number, 65.3% (roughly 154 million people) voted in that election. These numbers come from the 2024 Current Population Survey (CPS) Voting and Registration Supplement and released by the U.S. Census Bureau. With the data we have for 2024, what will it show when we compare the Black and Latino voters who registered and actually voted? All Men (of all races) voted at 63.7% | All Women (of all races) voted at 66.9% 2024 Black American VotersBlack voters registered – 70.1%Black voters not registered – 11.6%Black voters who voted – 59.6%Black voters who didn’t vote – 22.7%Black voters who didn’t respond to voting: 17.7%Total Reported Registered: 64.8%Total Reported Voted: 55.1% 2024 Latino American VotersLatino voters registered – 61.5%Latino voters not registered – 20.7%Latino voters who voted – 50.6%Latino voters who didn’t vote – 32.4%Latino voters who didn’t respond to voting: 17.0%Total Reported Registered: 42.8%Total Reported Voted: 35.2% Despite the reported numbers of Black (64.8%) and Latino (42.8%) registered voters, the total who actually voted from those numbers were much lower. Now, let’s compare to the 2020 election numbers and see the difference in that particular election between Black and Latino groups. 2020 Black American VotersBlack voters registered – 69.0%Black voters not registered – 10.5%Black voters who voted – 62.6%Black voters who didn’t vote – 17.4%Black voters who didn’t respond to voting: 20.0%Total Reported Registered: 64.7%Total Reported Voted: 58.7% 2020 Latino American VotersLatino voters registered – 61.1%Latino voters not registered – 19.2%Latino voters who voted – 53.7%Latino voters who didn’t vote – 27.2%Latino voters who didn’t respond to voting: 19.0%Total Reported Registered: 44.1%Total Reported Voted: 38.8% In the U.S., young Latinos of both genders experienced the highest drop in youth turn out from 2020 – 2024. In Arizona, 47% of the registered 18-29 year old voters turned out versus 51% in 2020, a 4% decrease. There’s been a drop in voting turnout between 2020 and 2024 in the Black and Latino registered voting block despite having increased registered voters within those four years. According to Pew Research, the 2024 eligible voter population for Latinos/Hispanics was 36,200,000 which was increased by 3,900,000 since 2020. That’s a 12% change. The 2024 Black eligible voter demographic was 34,450,000 which was an increase of 2,300,000 – a 7% change. Yet, despite the eligibility and the registered voting numbers, fewer voted in 2024 than they did in 2020.  Whatever outreach has happened in the past isn’t working and new strategies need to be created to uplift voter engagement and create interest in voting in Black and Latino communities. Tomorrow We Vote is working on new methods through digital means to help close these gaps in Arizona. To help support, please become a monthly supporter so we can continue our work.
