This spring, Mt. Joy was looking for a voter registration partner to join their Texas tour dates. We jumped on the opportunity, and our teams in Dallas and Austin got to work.
On April 25th, our DFW team — led by Jay, Darrel, and Diandra — set up under our assigned canopy at the Longhorn Backyard Amphitheater next to the merch table.
We canvassed the crowd all evening, checking voter registration statuses, updating records for folks who'd moved, and talking about what's at stake this November.
By the end of the night, we'd helped check over 200 voter statuses — and found a few people who thought they were registered but weren't on the rolls. Good thing they checked.
The band even donated a signed vinyl for us to raffle off to folks who stopped by to check their registration status.
The very next night, April 26th, our Austin team — led by Wes — brought that same energy to the Moody Center.
We were joined by local volunteers and one of our Texas State interns, Gallant, who drove in from San Marcos just to help out. We worked the main lobby, concession lines, and venue entrances — meeting people wherever they were.
In just one hour, we added 81 new contacts to our contact list and recruited 2 new volunteers.
This is what organizing looks like. Showing up where people already are, in moments they're already enjoying.
We're planning to bring this model to more concerts this summer across Texas. More venues. More crowds. We’ll register people to vote, check their status, and then stay personally connected with them through Election Day and beyond to make sure they cast a ballot.
Thank you for making this work possible.
