As the 2020 general election draws near, former first lady Michelle Obama be heading to Detroit to get people excited about heading to the polls later this year.
The non-partisan, non-profit organization, "When We All Vote", announced Wednesday that Obama plans to headline the free ticketed event March 27 at University of Detroit Mercy.
When We All Vote volunteers, partners, local high schoolers eligible to vote, leaders in the My School Votes program and the 2020 Prom Challenge, college students, and educators are all invited to attend. Mrs. Obama hopes that her presence in the Motor City will help to engage and inspire thousands of eligible voters in Michigan and across the country.
Obama and others launched When We All Vote in 2018 to boost voting.
