ABOUT VOTERS NOT POLITICIANS EDUCATION FUND
Voters Not Politicians Education Fund (Voters Ed Fund) is a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to strengthening democracy in Michigan through public education and civic participation.
Voters Ed Fund envisions a truly representative democracy where the will of the voters drives government decision-making and public policy in Michigan.
For a truly representative democracy to exist in Michigan, there is structural and systemic change that must happen through a combination of citizen initiatives and legislative advocacy. Michigan voters made great strides towards a more representative democracy in 2018 by passing citizen initiatives that ended partisan gerrymandering and expanded voting access, but there is still much work to do.
Our goals are to:
- Educate and engage voters on issue sets related to democracy, voting, redistricting, and more
- Protect the freedom to vote in Michigan
- Expand voting access for Michigan voters
- Evaluate the 2021 redistricting process to prepare for 2030 and share key insights with advocates for fair maps in other states
- Recruit, engage, and train new volunteers to grow Voters Ed Fund’s outreach and engagement capacity
