Program spotlight

A Voteless People is a Hopeless People.

Originating in 1934 as a national initiative of Alpha Phi Alpha, the program has been the chapter's most visible civic commitment since 2004. Each election cycle, brothers staff voter registration tables on the Canton Square, host candidate forums, and provide Election Day transportation to polling places across Madison County.
