More information:

As Democracy Fellows, we meet once a week online from August 29 through Election Day to discuss campaign strategy, communications, and outreach, and to have the opportunity to connect with our sisters on the team for support, strategy and to celebrate successes! Connecting with your sisters in a deeper and more profound way is a huge part of this opportunity.

As a Democracy Fellow, you will design a voter registration campaign and get-out-the-vote campaign in your school or community – using social media, texts to friends, and in-person gatherings to ensure that every young person has a voice in this important election.

This is a nonpartisan opportunity open to DemocraShe alumni and is not associated with any candidate or political party. You can design your campaigns however you choose.
