Every generation has a choice.

Sit on the sidelines? Or carry the torch forward?

John Lewis chose the fight. Our ancestors chose the fight. Now it's our turn.

North Carolina A&T University is the birthplace of the Greensboro Sit-ins. The students who changed America walked those halls. Now, an election board stripped the on-campus early voting site from their campus. They forgot who they were dealing with. Join us Tuesday, June 16, at 12 PM ET as students, elected officials, and civil rights leaders demand the restoration of on-campus voting at the nation's largest HBCU. If you're available to join us in person, please do! If you can't, watch our Instagram stories on Tuesday, June 16 to follow along.

Support Our Netroots Panel!

Voting for Netroots Nation panels has begun! We are proud of the submission Evan Malbrough and Yael Bromberg, Esq. have put forward focusing on youth voting, voting rights, and how college communities can mobilize in the lead-up to the midterms. The proposed panel features three young organizers from Georgia, North Carolina, and New York State (by way of Georgia), each of whom has successfully organized their peers to both get out the vote and resist voter suppression. Joining these youth organizers and advocates are a college administrator dedicated to the civics-mission of higher education, and a constitutional rights litigator who is also a legal scholar of the Twenty-Sixth Amendment. We will collectively discuss the power of organizing, advocacy, litigation, and public education, and how these strategies can work together to build and shift power.
