Here is your monthly reminder to join us for our joint virtual Momentum Memphis Task-Force meeting on Monday, October 5, via Zoom at 6:00 pm. Hear updates on our advocacy efforts from our task-force leaders and coalition partners as we continue to fight for equity in education for all students in Memphis and Shlelby County. 

Also, join us tomorrow for our bi-weekly Education Equity Happy Hour at 5:30 pm via Zoom. Grab your favorite refreshment and join other parents, educators, and community members for a laid back discussion on recent local and city government decisions, upcoming Stand events, and how you can join and take action with the Momentum Memphis Education Task-Force Committee!

Until then, be sure that you are registered to vote in the November 3rd election by checking your voter registration status here, and that you’re counted by taking the Census here. Both of these critical events have a deadline of Monday, October 5. I strongly recommend that you take time today to ensure that you’re ready to cast your ballot during early voting starting October 14 to avoid long lines and practice social distancing.

 You can also get involved by volunteering to help increase voter turnout! We’ve partnered with Continue the Dream – Voter Alliance to increase voter engagement by registering Memphians to vote and encouraging the largest turnout possible for this election. If you would like to help with voter registration and sharing critical voting information to all, please sign up here.
