Get Out the Vote: Voter Mobilization and Civic Education Series
“Our battle for the youth’s vote is a battle for the very character of what we call ‘America.’”
Our non-partisan initiative helped support young people in becoming voter mobilization leaders.
The goal of our 2020 GOTV program was to support young people ages 18-25 in effectively mobilizing their peers to vote, and to provide them with civic knowledge and organizing skills that will be useful throughout their lives.
The program included a series of seminars, trainings, small-group sessions, and individual work focused on civic engagement, community organizing, Democratic and Republican views on the 2020 presidential election, and voter registration, turnout, disenfranchisement, and suppression. Series speakers included civil rights leader Lynda Blackmon Lowery; Harvard Law School professor Martha Minow, Democratic strategist Jennifer Palmieri, and Republican strategist Mark McKinnon.
This program ended in 2020. You can learn more by watching the recorded webinars below.
