The Detroit Pistons were one of the first pro sports organizations to announce a massive voter education and voter mobilization effort. In this crucial swing state, in the height of the nationwide pandemic and with the embers of activism and calls for change among its players and executives, the time was ripe for action.
The Pistons partnered with Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and Detroit City Clerk Janice Winfrey turned the Pistons Performance Center into a large-scale registration and voting site, enlisted team employees to work the polls and embarked on a voter education campaign to get people registered and know where, when and how to vote today.
