“Unlike noncollege youth, college students can be mobilized as a bloc because they have a shared identity, whether that’s as college students or as members of a specific campus community." @profmichelson in @InsideHigherEd on the #StudentVote

College student voting rates *doubled* from 2014 to 2018 & reached record-breaking heights in 2020. Join the Student Vote Research Network on November 15 to reflect, debrief, challenge assumptions, & plan for the future of the #StudentVote!
Among the results I am celebrating today: the local school board candidate who called being LGBTQ a "deviant lifestyle" was roundly defeated. Good job, neighbors. #LGBTQRights
Congratulations, @kevinmullin!

As polls start to close across the United States, we have a very important message to share: If you're in line when polls close, stay in line.
You can vote.
