Realizing the Democracy We Want: Student Voting and Civic Engagement


Listen Later

What is the state of youth voting among college students as we barrel toward the November presidential election? Today’s guests, Jennifer Domagal-Goldman from ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge, and UC Berkeley undergraduate student, Alex Edgar, discuss successful strategies to increase youth participation in local, state and federal elections in 2024. Listen in for tangible tips on actions you can take now to engage the young people in your life and on your campus.

Episode Resources:

Every single person in a college community can help support nonpartisan democratic engagement on their campus by:

  • Visiting www.allintovote.org and check or update your registration and then take our Pledge to Vote - and then ask three friends or family members to do the same. 
  • Asking your president or chancellor to join more than 625 of their peers in signing our Presidents’ Commitment to Full Student Voter Participation. It sends a strong signal to the campus that nonpartisan voter engagement matters.
  • Working with your athletic department to encourage all athletic administrators and coaches to sign the 2024 Coaches Pledge.
  • Recognizing a student who’s doing extraordinary work on your campus with the ALL IN Student Voting Honor Roll
  • Submitting a nonpartisan campus democratic engagement action plan by May 31, 2024.
