Flip the Vote x Art for Democracy - Discussion with Lena Wolff / Stitch-a-thon - Register Now
Hiya!
This year, let’s Vote for Democracy!
I just attended an amazing talk and fundraiser led by my friend, Bay Area artist, and activist Lena Wolff. She is the person behind the Vote for Democracy posters and billboards.
This year, Lena’s goal is to raise $200,000 for Flip the Vote.
Come to our virtual meetup on August 10th to learn about Flip the Vote and the eight organizations they are funding.
If you cannot attend the virtual, live meeting on August 10th, please still register and I will send you a recording.

Save the Date: I am hosting a Stitch-a-thon starting on August 24th to continue raising money. (I will talk more about the Stitch-a-thon on August 10th.)

I left the meeting feeling so inspired for our future. I hope you will join us.
Keep reading to learn more about Flip and Vote and the Stitch-a-thon.

Flip the Vote directs funding to impactful, BIPOC-led grassroots voting organizations in the must-win swing states with a proven track record of enlisting new voters each election cycle. This year, the fund supports 8 groups in the 8 critical states that will make or break the election, both for the Presidency and the Senate. Dollar for dollar, donations to these groups go farther than donations to candidates, while also supporting real social justice for the long haul.
The 2024 Flip the Vote Fund Supports:
Lucha (Arizona)
Detroit Action (Michigan)
Black Leaders Organizing for Communities (Wisconsin)
Info about FTV and their approach to the whole 2023-24 election cycle can be found by reading up about their strategy, and the recommended grassroots groups on their list.
