University of Wisconsin-Green Bay joins Get Out The Vote dance party to encourage civic engagement [Video]

GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – In advance of the General Election on Nov. 5, members of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay (UWGB) community gathered at the school library to take part in a ‘Get Out The Vote’ dance party.

The event is part of the nonpartisan nonprofit Civic Responsibility Project’s ‘Party to the Polls Purple Tour,’ which is in partnership with Daybreaker.

“We’re just trying to bring some joy to the civic engagement process and promote a culture of early voting to hopefully get people excited and energized about election season,” Divinity Matovu said. “It’s been really exciting and fun, people stop and look to see the dancers and people with live instruments, and that’s what we want.”
