Name of Project: Charlotte Civic Education & Election Outreach

Description: Charlotte Civic Education & Election Outreach is Adreinna Jerald Johnson's initiative to increase civic knowledge, strengthen voter participation, and combat misinformation through accessible, community-based education. By partnering with schools, churches, nonprofit organizations, and local leaders, the initiative brings civic education directly into neighborhoods through interactive workshops, listening sessions, youth engagement, and community outreach events. Through a family-centered approach that encourages conversations across generations, the project aims to equip residents with the knowledge and resources they need to participate confidently in elections, understand the impact of local government, and become more informed and engaged members of their communities.
