MILWAUKEE — Election Day is one month away and the effort to get more voters registered is a priority for nonpartisan organizations.
On Sunday, a coalition of local and national partners came together to host a Votorcade called the “Make Good Trouble- 10 Million More Black Voters- Arc of Voter Justice Tour."
Buses titled "Make Good Trouble" drove through Milwaukee stretching about six blocks.
"We wanted to go through the neighborhoods of Milwaukee to make sure people knew it was voting time and that it is so important that they get their voting on. And if they are not registered, they get registered," said Barbara Arnwine, President of the Transformative Justice Coalition.
The stop in Milwaukee is a part of a 25-city tour moving through the Midwest to engage people to get registered to vote.
Some of the local groups included Wisconsin Voices, Milwaukee Turners, Expo of Wisconsin, M.W. Prince Hall Grand Lodge, Wisconsin, WNOV 86, Greater Milwaukee Urban League, and Power to the Polls.
The outside portion of Turner Hall was transformed into a gathering place for people to eat, dance, and get registered to vote.

- Oct. 19: Last day to register online if you're voting by mail
- Nov. 3: Last day to request an absentee ballot
- Nov. 4: Last day to register to vote in person
- Nov. 8: Election Day
The Votorcade buses will be driving to Kenosha for the next stop on their tour.
