Restoring Justice Through the Ballot:
Power in Ranked Choice Voting

Join CVH Power’s Follow Black Women campaign in Harlem for a community training focused on understanding Ranked-Choice Voting — a system that gives voters more voice and choice.

In this session, we’ll explore how Ranked-Choice Voting works, why it matters for advancing justice, and how communities can use it to make their votes count more powerfully.

You’ll leave with the tools to educate others, confidently navigate your ballot, and ensure your voice helps shape a fairer, more inclusive democracy.

*Spanish interpretation will be available!
