Lived Experience. Lasting Policy.
About Voices to Votes MA
Voices to Votes' mission is to bridge education, storytelling, and policy to empower every citizen. We provide accessible legal resources to ensure Americans understand their rights in everyday situations. Through our platform, we create space for dialogue—where people of all ages and experiences can share their stories, voice their concerns, and imagine legislation that reflects their realities. By amplifying the often-unheard stories of those harmed by the legal system, we aim to transform lived experience into actionable policy, turning testimony into reform that protects and uplifts communities.
Our Mission
Our mission is to bridge education, storytelling, and policy in order to empower every citizen and strengthen democracy. We believe that people cannot fully participate in civic life without both knowledge of their rights and a platform to be heard.We are building an accessible online hub that combines legal education, public dialogue, and policy development.
We provide clear, reliable resources that explain legal rights in everyday situations—from interactions with law enforcement to housing, employment, healthcare, and beyond. These materials are designed to be understandable for people without legal training, so that every individual, regardless of age or background, can be equipped with the knowledge they need to navigate the system.
Additionally, our platform serves as a civic forum, where citizens can share their experiences, discuss current legislation, and propose new ideas for reform. We encourage open and respectful dialogue across communities, making space for stories that are often silenced—stories of individuals, families, and communities harmed by gaps or failures in the legal system.
Finally, we work to translate these stories into policy action. Our team will identify recurring themes and urgent needs, draft legislative proposals, and engage with lawmakers, advocacy organizations, and community leaders. In this way, lived experience becomes more than testimony—it becomes the foundation for change. Our guiding belief is that every person’s story matters, and when collected together, these stories form a powerful record of both injustice and hope. By amplifying voices across generations and transforming them into actionable policy, we aim to build a more equitable legal system that truly reflects and protects the people it serves.
Our Impactful Initiatives
Programs and Services
We recognize that creating meaningful change requires more than one pathway, which is why our work is designed to be multifaceted. Instead of relying on a single strategy, we are developing a range of interconnected programs that educate, empower, and advocate. Each program serves a different purpose, but together they create a comprehensive approach to ensuring that personal stories and lived experiences translate into lasting policy reform.
