Join us for an informative, nonpartisan event designed to present an unbiased overview of the 2024 U.S. Presidential candidates. This information will be accessible in American Sign Language, spoken English, and CART (captions).

In this session, we will break down the candidates' platforms and positions on key issues such as healthcare, the economy, the environment, immigration, foreign policy, and more. Our goal is to provide voters with clear straightforward information to help them make informed decisions in the upcoming election.

This event will focus solely on presenting facts and verified policy positions, without endorsing or opposing any candidate. Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of where each candidate stands and how those stances could impact the future of the country.

This event is open to the public and encourages civic engagement. We invite individuals of all political affiliations to participate in this fact-based, unbiased discussion. This space is not a place for debates.

Intended audience

Anyone, including Minnesota's deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing community, who is interested in learning more about the platforms and positions on key issues. A highlights video will be available at a later time so anyone who cannot attend will get an idea of the event.
