New month, bigger mission. 💥

It’s September 1st, and we’re starting the month with major news: The High Opportunity Voter Project is expanding to Mississippi! 🗳️

The deep relational organizing and community work we built in Georgia is officially taking root in the Hospitality State. We couldn't be more excited for this next chapter!

61 years after the passage of the Voting Rights Act, the fight for equal access to the ballot box is far from over.

Today, our voting rights face modern challenges through restrictive laws and voter disenfranchisement. At the High Opportunity Voter Project, we refuse to let these barriers hold our communities back.

From local school funding and youth programs to housing affordability and community safety, your vote determines who has a seat at the decision-making table.

Don’t let anyone silence your voice. Protect your power and make sure you’re ready to be heard

Building something meaningful from the ground up takes collaboration, respect, and shared purpose.

Hear from Michelle Lamar, our Director of Quality Control, on why working at HOVP is so much more than just a job:

💬 “We collaborate with respect, value one another’s perspectives, and lead with purpose... It’s an opportunity to help build a legacy.”

We are so grateful for Michelle’s leadership across nine counties and her dedication to our communities! 💙

HOVP is making moves across Georgia! 🍑

We’re on the ground in local communities statewide, making sure every Georgian knows the power of their voice. As we celebrate our first anniversary this month, we want to highlight our dedicated canvassers who are on the front lines. Their daily efforts, connecting with people county by county, are what make this work possible.

"When I think about why I love this work, in one word it would be: Family." 💙

For our Senior Field Director, Toni J. Watkins, organizing isn't just a career; it's a deeply personal legacy. From a grandfather organizing so local kids could have a community pool to building a safer, more equitable future for the next generation, we do this work because it impacts lives, changes lives, and when we win, it protects them too.

What drives your passion for community action? Let us know in the comments!
