Happy Dog Takes On The Forgotten Voter

According to a recent report by Harvard University, the first two decades of the 21st century were laser focused on "increasing voter turnout among the 'low propensity' voters in their communities, especially people of color and young people." These were groups largely “invisible” to the mainstream election industry. So, at the time, grassroots organizations welcomed the approach. But was it the right move? Today, Ohio is experiencing a higher level of disengagement and cynicism than in comparable states. Add to this, Ohio's notoriety as a "swing state" has lost steam--and national Get Out The Vote (GOTV) efforts have set their eyes on neighboring states like Wisconsin and Michigan. What can be done to repair the trust and relationship-building at the foundation of community organizing? And how can we better enfranchise those in our own communities? Join the City Club as Signal Cleveland's Frank Lewis takes on the "forgotten voter" and Ohio's GOTV efforts.
