Your Guide to the Voting Assembly

1) What time should I arrive? Please arrive by 6:50 pm to park, find your seat, and be ready to start promptly at 7 pm.

2) What are the top concerns that emerged from the Listening Sessions? We tallied the concerns that each Listening Session identified as their top 3 from that session. You can find the reports attached and here:

*The Strategy Team has recommended that the top 10 concerns be the ones we decide between.

3) How will voting work? We'll break out by member organization to vote as a team. Each member has 3 votes collectively, and each group actively discerning membership will have 2 votes. Your group will decide together how to use your votes. For example, you could:

  • Dedicate all 3 votes for 1 priority.
  • Divide your votes equally among 3 top priorities.
  • Put 2 votes on your top priority and 1 vote on your runner-up.

*Even though voting is for member groups/actively discerning member groups, guests who are not members of Justice United are still welcome to attend and observe.

4) How many total priorities will we choose? Our Strategy Team recommends that we choose 2 priorities for our new campaigns. Our Internet Accountability campaign is ongoing, and we are still actively monitoring our Mental Health, Property Tax Assistance, and Criminal Justice campaigns, so the Strategy Team assessed that we have capacity for 2 new priorities.
