Programs

Civic Engagement

Minnesota Voices Civic Engagement Program focuses on engaging community participation in democracy at every level of public life. A primary goal of the program is to build opportunities for traditionally disenfranchised individuals and groups to participate and effect change, and demonstrate that they can make a difference. Civic engagement is more than getting people engaged and active in their community, it is also about institutional and organizational change. Through voter education initiatives, candidate forums and organizational training opportunities we are building a foundation for lasting change.

Immigrant Defense Network

Minnesota Voice is a partner of the Immigrant Defense Network and an anchor partner for the Electoral Steering Committee.

Established in 2025, the Immigrant Defense Network (IDN) is a network of over 90 immigrant, labor, legal, faith, and community organizations dedicated to protecting and advancing the constitutional rights of immigrant communities across Minnesota. In the face of ongoing and escalating threats to immigrant rights, IDN delivers trusted information, referrals to legal support, and coordinated educational activities. Immigrants are the backbone of Minnesota’s economy, cultural richness, and civic life. We all deserve to live with dignity and without fear.
