Mission
We Must Vote, Inc. is a nonprofit organization established to provide factual information about the voting process, get people registered to vote, and ensure they participate in local and federal elections. Because many people feel that their vote is not important, in order to have a society of committed voters, it is necessary to teach and enlighten citizens not only of their right to vote and what it cost but also the importance of availing themselves to the process in a factual and truthful way
Program accomplishments
- During 2025, We Must Vote Inc conducted training for employees to prepare volunteers for Voter Registration programs. We conducted 12 voter registration programs in Hinds and Yazoo Counties alone, and we did door-to-door campaigns, too, to help people get registered in underserved communities saturated with elderly people and those who lack adequate transportation. We got more than 300 people registered to vote and made sure that they were all aware of where their precincts were located. We also worked with other organizations to help people get to the polls for local elections. Additionally, miscellaneous costs incurred are included in this expense.Expenses $12,000 · revenue $12,000
- We Must Vote, Inc. conducted a Rural Rapid Response Initiative, primarily across the Mississippi Delta region. We visited homes and conducted meetings giving the rural residents information on voting and answering questions that many of them had about their impact. We also conducted voter registration at community colleges in rural areas. We handed out t-shirts as incentives for registration at the colleges, and we also used poll workers for the election that took place during this initiative and paid them a stipend for their work. Hopefully many of them will volunteer to work the polls when they complete their college education.Expenses $5,000 · revenue $5,000
