MADISON, Wis. - PennZone -- Empower Project is leading the country's largest and most successful paid relational organizing program to boost voter turnout in the 2024 Election, marking the first time in history that a campaign led by a nonprofit will have upwards of 10 million conversations through their personal relationships. In just a few short weeks, Empower Project has recruited tens of thousands of community mobilizers to have real conversations with their own friends and family about voting. This has resulted in over 2 million conversations with over 1 million voters, many of whom are first-time or infrequent voters, people of color, and women in key battleground states.

Empower Project is hosting a Virtual Press Conference to unveil their groundbreaking program to boost voter participation in key battleground states like AZ, PA, WI, MI, NV, NC, and more by empowering people to talk to their friends and family!
