Still Room for Next Teach In

NEOCH Focuses on Identification and Homeless Voting

The next Teach In will focus on identification and voting registration issues. This is critical to the assisting homeless people with voting in-person on election day. There is still space for the next Teach In on September 16, 2008 at 5:30 p.m. at the NEOCH conference room. Please RSVP to Joshua Kanary at 216/432-0540 if you can attend this meeting. We will have Linda Stamm from West Side Catholic and an expert on identification issues. We will go over all the issues that the Coalition is focused on with regard to voting, and opportunities to volunteer. We will have a representative of Ohio Votes and most likely a representative of the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections. This should be a interesting 3 hours of information as we prepare for the 2008 Presidential election. We also tour one of the local shelters to look at their work in getting homeless people to participate in the democratic process.

If you cannot make this time, we will have a training on September 27, 2008 at 11:30 a.m. for those who want to help get homeless people to vote. We are still looking for vans and van drivers for September 30-October 6. If you can help call 432-0540.
