Why you should vote in 2024
Traverse Indivisible is focused on Getting Out the Vote in 2024. Here’s what we are doing to maximize GOTV 2024, and what you can do yourself to help in the effort!
Why vote in 2024? This video, produced by our friends at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Grand Traverse, features two voters, one will be 18 in November and the other is 101, speaking about why it’s important for citizens of all ages to vote this year.
A Celebration of Democracy! Traverse Indivisible and Leelanau Indivisible are collaborating with a large range of community nonprofit organizations to stage A Celebration of Democracy at F&M Park in Traverse City on Saturday September 7. ACoD will be a fun affair for adults and kids of all ages!
