Theodore TurnUp III: Hi I’m Theodore TurnUp III, but everyone calls me Trey. What a year 2020 has been! It’s my senior year in high school, an important election year and I just turned eighteen—so now I get to exercise my right to VOTE and carry on the TurnUp legacy. Let’s go!

Theodore TurnUp Sr. I’m Theodore TurnUp, Sr.—but you can call GrandPop Teddy. I was birthed into a family of resistors and grew up fighting for the rights of oppressed people, my people. With great pride, I get to share these core values with my family. I’ve come to know that one of the best ways for marginalized people to fight is with their VOTE!

Zora TurnUp Well, hello there...I’m Zora TurnUp, Trey’s grandmother. It brings me joy to see him following in his grandfather’s footsteps and doing his part to be an involved citizen. Many know me from my work with ‘Souls To The Polls’ but this work began as a little child, when I attended marches with my own parents. There’s still so much work to be done, so let's roll up our sleeves and TurnUP the VOTE!

Xiomara TurnUp ¡Hola, mi nombre es Xiomara TurnUp! I’m Puerto Rican born but Florida raised with a good blend of plantains and protesting in my blood. I’m a proud Latina that speaks up for communities of black, indigenous, people of color (BIPOC)—because our voices matter, our lives matter and so does our VOTE!

Stella TurnUp Hello there, I’m Stella TurnUp—daughter of Theodore & Zora! Everything I know about activism, I learned from them. That’s why I started a grassroots organization that teaches civic awareness to youth in underserved neighborhoods. I often say that when you engage in a system not built to serve you, that is an act of resistance. You want to see change? Show up and VOTE!

Tiffany TurnUp I’m Tiffany, the youngest of the TurnUp family! I’m learning everything I can from my family about politics, community, and especially about voting because one day I’ll be the first female president of the United States. I’m not old enough to VOTE yet, so I encourage all of you to do it for me!
