IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Outreach -- Organizing at more than 100 caucuses and 40 party conventions, which culminated in a strong reaffirmation of RCV in the party?s Ongoing Platform at the June 2016 statewide convention. Signed up more than 5,000 new supporters through canvassing, party conventions, political rallies, the Minnesota State Fair, Twin Cities Pride and dozens of other events across the state. Engaged more than 150 volunteers who contributed more than 600 hours of volunteer time. Sponsored the inaugural Best of the Wurst event in May. This signature event brought together new partners from the restaurant industry, as well as media and celebrity food critics, to educate festival-goers about RCV by sampling and ranking their favorite artisanal sausages! The gathering attracted dozens of participating restaurants and 600 Twin Citians. Through social media, we reached 5000 people weekly on average and had nearly 300,00 impressions on Twitter. FairVote Minnesota Foundation continued to build a broad coalition of state and local funders as well as organizations that are helping advance RCV. In St. Paul and St. Louis Park this year, we continue to work closely with TakeAction Minnesota, MPIRG, MN Voices, the Hmong American Partnership, and several other community organizations.
