Activities or mission (Part I)
MISSISSIPPI VOTES CONDUCTS VOTER ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES SUCH AS FIRST TIME VOTER SEMINARS, VOTER REGISTRATION, AND GET-OUT-THE-VOTE DRIVES IN A NONPARTISAN, UNBIASED MANNER WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ANY PARTICULAR CANDIDATE OR POLITICAL PARTY. IT IS AN ORGANIZATION OF INTERGENERATIONAL SYNERGY CENTERED ON YOUNG PEOPLE INVESTED IN MISSISSIPPI'S PROGRESSION. THE MISSION IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH ESTABLISHED PROGRAMMING AND OUTREACH STRATEGIES THAT EMPOWER YOUNG PEOPLE, ENCOURAGE CIVIC ENGAGEMENT, AND EDUCATE COMMUNITIES ON VOTING RIGHTS THROUGH PLACE-BASED GRASSROOTS ORGANIZING. IN THIS COVID ERA, THE GOAL IS TO SAFELY AND ORGANICALLY REACH VOTERS, AND TO ENCOURAGE EVERY ELIGIBLE VOTER IN MISSISSIPPI TO VOTE AND BE INFORMED AT THE BALLOT BOX.
-
VOTER SERVICES INCLUDE VOTER SUFFRAGE CURRICULUM, VOTER EDUCATION, AND ASSISTANCE WITH ELECTION PROTECTION ON ELECTION DAY, CONTINUATION OF VOTER REGISTRATION CAMPAIGN, UP2US THAT STARTED IN PRIOR YEAR. DUE TO COVID, THERE WAS A SUBSTANTIAL SHIFT OF FOCUS TO DIGITAL AND MAIL ENGAGEMENT WITH VOTERS AND POTENTIAL VOTERS. DIRECT MAIL AND DIGITAL ADVERTISEMENT WERE SIGNIFICANT TACTICS USED TO ENGAGE MISSISSIPPIANS. TARGETED UNIVERSES FOR 2022 WERE SELECT HOUSEHOLDS OF PRESIDENTIAL-ONLY VOTERS 65 YEARS AND OLDER, YOUNG PEOPLE AGES 18-35, AND INFREQUENT VOTERS. OVER 30,000 PIECES OF DIRECT MAIL WERE SENT OUT TO THESE GROUPS IN 2022. DIGITAL ADS PLAYED 722,434 TIMES. ANOTHER DIGITAL TOOL USED THIS YEAR WAS BALLOT READY, WHICH ALLOWS REGISTERED VOTERS TO USE AND DEVELOP A VOTER GUIDE: RESEARCH THE BALLOT, FIND OUT HOW TO VOTE, CHECK REGISTRATION, GET INVOLVED, AND REQUEST A BALLOT.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
