SUMMARY:Tent Talk: Aaron Frank and Anton Moore Under the Tent
DESCRIPTION:We were thrilled to host Aaron Frank\, co-founder and president\, Focus for Democracy (F4D) and Anton Moore\, founder of DJ’s at the Polls. F4D researches programs and reviews evidence to identify where election donations can achieve the highest impact. It is a nonprofit dedicated to empowering political donors to make the most impactful contributions possible to strengthen democracy. \nDJs at the Polls is a GOTV initiative that brings music and a celebratory atmosphere to the polls. The 2024 program aims to bring DJs to thousands of polls in urban centers of the battleground states\, AZ\, GA\, MI\, NC\, NE\, NV\, PA\, and WI. Experiments in 2022 and 2023 in Philadelphia and Virginia showed a significant voter turnout effect (e.g.\, a boost of 3+% in polling locations with a high proportion of African Americanvoters). ​Local DJs with significant social media followings will be hired to perform at polls in their neighborhoods. DJs are cultural organizers that regularly promote their gigs and will post several GOTV messages throughout the election cycle. \nOUR SPEAKERS \nAARON FRANK  is the Co-founder and President of Focus for Democracy. Aaron has spent the last 20 years managing a private investment partnership and now applies that diligence to political investing through Focus for Democracy. Aaron received his JD from Emory Law School and lectures at the University of San Francisco. \nANTON MOORE  is the founder of DJ’s At The Polls\, a nationwide GOTV (get-out-the-vote) that places DJs at polling locations. He has run programs in Ohio\, Virginia\, Pennsylvania\, Michigan\, and North Carolina. He is also the founder of Unity in the Community\, a Philadelphia based organization dedicated to changing the lives of others in the South Philly area. Anton is a former BET and radio producer and was a speaker at the 2016 Democratic National Convention.
