WHAT'S AT STAKE

THE PROBLEM
Memphis voter turnout is at 23.8%—one of the lowest in the nation.
Most Memphis voters don’t feel connected to politics—and we get it.

OUR SOLUTION
Civics Made Simple delivers workshops, voter drives, and resources that speak directly to everyday Memphians.
If you don’t know how your government works, how can you make it work for you?

WHY IT MATTERS | IMPACT
How much stronger would our voter turnout be if voters truly understood how their local government works?
Civics Made Simple believes that knowledge is power.
