From U.S. Newswire Releases:
Being homeless can present significant challenges not the least of which includes figuring out how to become a fully participating citizen in our nation of abundance.
The Michigan Coalition Against Homelessness (MiCAH) is offering a chance to learn how to engage citizens typically disenfranchised by the system on Wednesday, Sept. 27, at the Cass Community Services Building, 11850 Woodrow Wilson, in Detroit.
Nonpartisan voter registration events like the one being organized by Michigan Coalition Against Homelessness will take place across the country during the week of Sept. 24-30 to mark National Homeless and Low Income Voter Registration Week.
All citizens must vote on Nov. 7 for candidates to address the issues they are concerned about.
"We all know the candidates are hungry for attention in this time of the election cycle and they will show up to any gathering of voters, even if those voters are homeless" notes Georgia McPhaul, MiCAH board member and staff member of Cass Community Services where the training is being held.
The homeless in Detroit and the surrounding suburbs are excited to be a part of national and local civic participation efforts among low income citizens.
