Maui Will Get Out the Vote The Maui At Large Unit has been busy, having hosted our fifth annual Women's Rights and Human Rights all-day conference in March, bringing together several different women's associations. There were six panels, plus videos on women's right to vote, and on domestic violence. In August we sponsored a Women's Health Fair. We are sponsoring a 1 + 1 Campaign that we plan to use for the next election. The graphics are shown below, with the "1" registered voter getting "1" non-registered voter registered, and later, one voter getting another to vote. "be silent no more" Our "At Large" Unit. which we hope soon to convert to a state chapter of the League, meets the first Tuesday of each month.
