Programs: Emerging voters: with the help of its dedicated volunteers and staff emerge engages the muslin, arab, and south asian american communities along with other underrepresented communities in the electoral process. The emerging voters programming includes voter registration campaigns, absentee ballot drives, organizing early voting events and creating opportunities for candidates and elected officials to interact with community members so they can learn about and discuss issues that are important in their local communities.
emerging data: emerge has created a database of under- represented ethnic communities in florida with a focus on registered voters from the muslim, arab, and south asian american communities. Emerge communicates with this database on a regular basis through live and automated polling and collects data on voter trends and issues that drive these communities to the polls.
emerging leaders: the emerging leaders program builds on emerge's national training modules through a series of leadership trainings carried out throughout the state of florida.
