ABOUT OUR
INITIATIVE

Cleveland VOTES is a nonpartisan, democracy-building, and mobilization entity that aims to strengthen civic muscle and power to ensure we have a more informed, participatory, and cohesive community.

 

The initiative invests in entities working to expand voter registration, accessibility, and participation by integrating the practice of equitable civic engagement through the success and measurable outreach efforts of its partners, collaborators, and grantees.

​

Co-Founders Erika Anthony and Crystal Bryant created Cleveland VOTES to fill the voter registration void for individuals incarcerated and re-entering society. Partnerships and collaborations initiated by Cleveland VOTES include the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections, Northeast Ohio Voter Advocates, and national partner Nonprofit Vote.
