Today I am joined by Nathalie Goudy & Melissa Padron, the FIU Interns for Student PIRGS! Student PIRGS (Public Interest Research Group) is a non-partisan organization that works with professional staff at colleges and universities to make sure students have the training, professional support and resources they need to tackle climate change, protect public health, revitalize our democracy, feeding the hungry and more. 

On this episode Nathalie, Melissa, and I talk about the WEIGHT of your vote, how FIU/Miami's diversity reflects the United States, how the student vote can decide the election, some happy phone-banking stories, and WHY they choose to volunteer for democracy. 

Also make sure to go to hon.fiu.edu/phonebank to join Honors & Student PIRGS this Saturday to call students around Florida and encourage them to vote early!
