Be Latina: How to Convince Your Stubborn Friend or Family Member to Vote

Our Get Out the Vote program was highlighted in the Be Latina article: How to Convince Your Stubborn Friend or Family Member to Vote. Journalist Erica Nahmad spoke with Making Caring Common faculty director, Rick Weissbourd who emphasized the challenges to getting college - aged voters to the polls.

Weissbourd reiterates this point, claiming that “only 40% of college students turned out in the 2018 midterm election — a dramatic jump from the 19% student turnout in the 2014 midterm elections, but a disappointing percentage for any healthy democracy.”
