Initiative Name

Local networks of students fighting to advance voting rights and stop local voter suppression.

Brief Description

CDCs are coalitions, which is a form of infrastructure. This means that they’re not always directly facilitating initiatives but providing a platform to bring together partners for campus initiatives.

Phase Three: Full Deployment

Suspendisse sed erat at nulla varius tincidunt, iaculis sed felis ut, aliquam viverra justo elementum lectus.

Long Description

CDCs engage the following groups:

  • Student Leaders
    Engaging student government officials, especially any involved with local civic engagement is key to engaging the student body. SGs can also rapidly organize to protect student rights from Project 2025.
  • University Democracy/Civic-Engagement Centers
    University centers or institutes researching civic engagement, civic leadership, or democracy can conduct research, send student-body wide surveys, provide professional guidance on-campus, and pool passionate students.
     
  • Local Allies and Campus Organizations
    Engage with community/campus chapters of national nonpartisan organizations to help with campus advocacy.
Students for Voting Rights

The Office includes senior leadership coordinating Divisions and strategizing Initiatives. It houses advisory bodies, like the Academic Advisory Board, which guide policy stances and democratic reforms to strengthen institutional faith.

Town Hall Project

Researching and addressing issues like voter suppression and gerrymandering, crafting nonpartisan, evidence-based proposals for democratic engagement and advocating for policy reforms to local, state, and federal officials.

Civic Network

Planning and executing events, such as nonpartisan town halls, educational assemblies, and public programming. The Organizing Division crafts materials to educate the public on democracy, civic engagement, and the dangers of authoritarianism, while advocating for disenfranchised communities and collaborating with the Advocacy Division on solutions.
