Make Your Voice Heard and Vote
As election day approaches with critical elections at the federal, state, and local levels, it’s crucial that we rally our communities to make their voices heard.
Join us as we mobilize to drive voter engagement, and turnout throughout our ecosystem cities: Oakland, CA, Atlanta, GA, and Detroit, MI. Let’s get to work to make every vote count.
Register to Vote
Voting is one of the many ways you can make your voice heard. Make sure you register so you can exercise your right to vote.

How We’re Making an Impact
Kapor Center
We’re rallying our staff with Get Out The Vote volunteer activities and opportunities, while also working to rally voters with a direct mail campaign, sending postcards to key states to ensure every voice is heard. Stay tuned for more voter education forums including a CA Policy Deep Dive and a Get Out the Vote National Forum during National Voter Education Week.
SMASH
We’re mobilizing future leaders and their families with our SMASH alumni network through our SMASH Virtual platform and our SMASH Residential program encouraging our alumni and families nationwide to register to vote and to make an election day plan to ensure their voices will be heard.
Kapor Capital
We’re activating the Kapor Capital portfolio to offer Volunteer Time Off for their employees and to our staff to vote, making voting accessible for everyone. This empowers our employees to research, understand ballot measures, and make informed decisions fostering a culture of civic responsibility, contributing to a more robust and representative democratic process.
