The events began Oct. 3 and continue through Election Day, Nov. 3, 2026, bringing together entrepreneurs, small business owners, creatives and community leaders to promote voter readiness and informed participation.<\/p>\n
From film studios to small business hubs, each gathering reflects the community it serves. Together, the events aim to reach hundreds of voters by meeting people where they already gather, work and build relationships.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a Detroit native and filmmaker, this work is personal to me. I know the talent, ambition and determination in this city, and I want the people building its future to have a voice in the decisions that affect their livelihoods,\u201d said Treavion Davenport, executive director of Millionaire Mastermind Academy and founder of FLEXHAUS CINEMA+ SOUND.<\/p>\n
\u201cBehind every small business and every production are families counting on those opportunities. Our partnership with When We All Vote brings civic participation into spaces where people already feel connected \u2014 from creative studios to neighborhood businesses. Across our 16 activations in Michigan and Nevada, we\u2019re reminding people that their voices matter, their votes matter, and they have a role in shaping what comes next for their communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
Founded in 2018, Millionaire Mastermind Academy helps women entrepreneurs build businesses and pursue economic mobility through mentorship, technical assistance, accelerator programs and strategic connections. According to its 2023-2024 Annual Impact Report, the organization has served more than 8,000 entrepreneurs, with a strong presence in Georgia, Texas, Florida and Arizona.<\/p>\n
Its partnership with When We All Vote extends that work into civic participation. Public decisions influence access to capital, workforce development, infrastructure and the conditions in which businesses operate. The events help participants understand those connections and prepare to make their voices heard.<\/p>\n
Every event is free, open to the public and nonpartisan, with no candidate endorsements.<\/p>\n
