Meet: Kate WeVote Partner: Philadelphia Cultural Alliance (PCA)

“By partnering with Seventy, we had a clear plan of communication around the election with our 10,000 email subscribers and advocates. It was really useful for us to have graphics, email templates, external information, and logistics. And I know that our audiences were really excited to receive those things. I was also personally inspired to register to be a poll worker. So, I volunteered as a poll worker on Election Day, because of the information I received from Committee of Seventy.”

—Kate Huffman, 2022 Director of Development, Philadelphia Cultural Alliance

Meet: Sharmain

WeVote Partner: Urban Affairs Coalition

“Voting is an important way for citizens to communicate with our government. Through this process, we share our priorities for making our communities better places to live, work, play, and dream every day. There is a direct relationship between our vote, who is elected at every level of government, and the policies that our communities are governed by. Our vote is so powerful! As a WeVote partner, UAC and our program partners have at our fingertips a robust set of resources that support our efforts to promote civic engagement.”

—Sharmain Matlock-Turner, CEO, Urban Affairs Coalition
