Voter Registration at PSU Behrend-Erie |
|
|
Affiliated organization NPPEF was at Penn State University: Behrend- Erie campus helping students get registered to vote!
Did you know?
In the 2020 U.S. presidential election, 50% of college students voted, up from 39% in 2016 (Tufts University, Institute for Democracy & Higher Education). That surge represented millions of new young voters, enough to swing outcomes in key swing states.
Student voters are powerful! That's why we're on the grounding helping them become more engaged in their local politics. |

Everything we do, from hosting town halls and producing podcasts to knocking on doors, expands Pennsylvania's electorate by engaging Pennsylvanians to be civically involved and encouraging them to turn out to vote twice a year, none of it would be possible without you. |
Trump DOJ Pushes SCOTUS to Disregard Constitution, End Birthright Citizenship
"The Department of Justice submitted a sweeping petition to the U.S. Supreme Court late Friday, asking the justices to uphold President Donald Trump’s controversial executive order that would deny birthright citizenship to children born in the United States, if neither parent is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. The filing explicitly challenges a centuries-old constitutional principle."
