The single best predictor of how consistently someone votes is how old they were the first time they cast a ballot. This means if you can get an 18 year old to vote, you have a good chance of creating a lifetime voter. And the easiest place to reach 18 year olds is on college campuses. Investing in young voters — specifically voters on campus — will pay dividends for decades.
From now until election day, we will use campus media (newspapers, websites, emails, and on-campus billboards and posters) to reach 13 million students on 1,000 campuses in 47 states. We ran this same program during the 2018 mid-terms and boosted student turnout almost 2%. To be frank: this was the most successful voter turnout program we’ve run over the past 16 years, and one of the least expensive as well. And we're ready to run it again in 2020. We have the team, the expertise, and the ability to move quickly. What we don’t have is enough money in the bank.
Can you chip in to help us reach millions of young voters? For every dollar contributed, we can reach 4 students.
