Change Memphis / Community Voting Project

New Path has partnered with the Mid-South Peace & Justice Center and Concerned Memphians United to form a coalition in an effort called Change Memphis.  Change Memphis is committed to addressing and improving issues that affect the quality of life of Memphis & Shelby County residents by providing services in voter education and citizen advocacy. The coalition's first initiative is a Community Voting Project (CVP) that will seek to increase voter participation and turn-out, and educate residents on the proposed amendments to the city Charter put forth by the Memphis Charter Commission.  A full issue campaign has been developed to ensure success of the CVP, and will kick-off officially in upcoming weeks.  
We are currently recruiting volunteers to assist us with campaign activities, and community relations.  If you're interested in participating, please email tarrin@newpathmemphis.org for more details.  Take advantage of this new opportunity to get involved in the community, and do your part to Change Memphis, by signing up today!  Volunteers are needed in the following areas:  

• School Visits - Talk with waiting parents about the impact the proposed changes will have on their life in Memphis. 
• Phone-bank - Connect with voters on the issues they care about and find out what interests them. 
• Canvassing - Visit target communities to educate residents about Charter changes, inform of upcoming activities within their neighborhood, and encourage support of the CVP campaign.
