Voter turnout in Detroit is low. Only a fraction of registered voters cast a ballot when election day comes. But there are people and organizations that want more people to be heard. 

Lift Every Voice and Vote is a non-profit that aims to educate citizens about the election process. The organization is partnering with the Black church community to help mobilize more people. 

Al Williams is a business owner who's active in local politics. He also coordinates the ground efforts for the non-profit. He joined the show to discuss how their efforts educating members of Detroit churches about the benefits of voting can shift how they understand voting, share that knowledge, and hopefully improve turnout.
