Timberwolves and Lynx Pack the Vote this Election Season

Minneapolis/St. Paul – The Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx announced its annual Pack the Vote initiative, a nonpartisan voter education platform aimed at increasing voter registration by providing voter resources and inspiring civic engagement in the local community and across the country.

“We are proud to work with our incredible Pack the Vote partners across the Twin Cities and surrounding area, promoting civic engagement and encouraging all to have their voices heard at the polls this upcoming Election Day,” said Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx Chief Impact Officer Jennifer Ridgeway.

Now in its fourth year, Pack the Vote provides ongoing programming to support Timberwolves and Lynx fans and the greater Twin Cities community to stay informed about local and national elections and encourage individuals to have their voices heard at the polls.

As part of this year’s programming, the Timberwolves and Lynx hosted a community conversation. Lynx legend Maya Moore Irons and her husband, Jonathan Irons, joined with advocacy groups, Darris Group, T.O.N.E. U.P Inc., and ACLU Minnesota on the importance of voting, the power of local engagement, and the impact that local government and policies have on individuals and communities.
