John,

We know that a lot of the time when we talk about what our movement has
accomplished, we have really big numbers to show for it like 250,000 new
registered voters and 76 million voter contacts.

But today, we want to talk about something different: Our work on six
college campuses to register a historic number of students to vote.

Here's what's so important about this,
John: Texas has one of the
largest populations of young people in the country — and their turnout
could be the key to making the change we want to see in Texas. Every new
Student Fellow and new voter brings us one step closer to turning Texas
blue — and these numbers are just the start!

It's one of the reasons the Texas GOP has been fighting so hard to
restrict the right to vote. SB 1, the extreme voter suppression bill
signed into law by Governor Abbott last month, has specific restrictions
on early voting, mail-in ballot applications, and ID requirements for
voting-by-mail that directly impact students' ability to vote.

John, our
Student Fellows are doing the work now to build a better, more responsive
government and to elect leaders that truly represent the people of Texas.

Take a moment to learn more about this work from our Student Fellow
Organizing Manager, MacKenzie Jenkins:

"From the time I have been eligible to vote, I have observed many efforts
to intimidate and dissuade voter engagement, especially with young people,
people of color, and voters with disabilities. My hope is that minority
voters across Texas will continue to use voting as an important tool in
ensuring our officials value not just our vote, but our voice too.

It is really encouraging registering new voters, and seeing them become
excited about the power they have in voting for people who they believe
will positively influence their local community and state. At almost every
voter registration event there is at least one student who will say, 'I'm
going to call my mom and tell her I got registered to vote!' You can
really feel their excitement and it is heartening to see the impact of
this work so closely."
