The Candidate Forum is a platform designed to provide one of the most accessible forms of economic self-empowerment: the facilitation of an educated vote.
 

This event is originally staged to provide members of Communities of Color the opportunity to hear from candidates seeking their vote in a community setting where people of color live and work. Typically, candidate forums in Dane County are staged in locations where people of color do not live or work.  

Additionally, this event is presented to encourage and inspire all citizens to vote in the upcoming election for whomever that deem worthy of their vote.

​

While the voter turnout for recent elections proved to be record-breaking, we still have work to do and progress to maintain. Our forums are hosted in our communities with a main principle in mind: voting for local, state, and federal officials and policies is just as much of a personal habit to establish as it is an American right to exercise.
