We knew 70% of new registrations after Dobbs were women. But now we also know this:

x Here's a striking data point:



In Kansas, 52.5 percent of new registrants to vote since the Roe decision are under 25, according to calculations by Democratic data analyst @tbonier.



He shared that data with us after we posted this piece. It neatly confirms the point. https://t.co/GQsKrbqNC8 — Greg Sargent (@ThePlumLineGS) August 4, 2022

I’ve been beating the young voter drum here for a long time, including Monday’s Massive Young Voter Turnout = 2022 Blue Wave. Can you Spare a Couple of Hours to Make it Happen?

You can keep the youth voter trend going by donating to, volunteering or recruiting for the Non-Partisan Young Voter Registration Group, The Civics Center. Volunteers are contacting high schools leading up to High School Voter Registration Week, September 19-23, 2022.

The first states we are contacting are Arizona and Nevada. There is tremendous room for growth of young voters: According to the Civics Center, only 11% of 18-year-olds living in Phoenix Unified School District were registered to vote as of late October 2021.

The Civics Center volunteers will be contacting high schools to determine the contact person at the schools who would handle a voter registration drive before and during Voter Registration Week.

That’s all you have to do! Just determine the contact information for the Assistant Principal, Student Government Advisor, Social Studies Teacher or Chair, or any other person who will implement a voter registration drive, and send the information to The Civics Center. They will work with that person to implement the drive in the school with its digital toolkit and other resources. The Civics Center is also training high school volunteers to implement voter registration drives.

This should not take more than a couple of hours (unless, of course, you have time to do more!).

You can do any or all of the following:

You can also motivate voters with these Voter Registration Stickers from The Civics Center, which include a QR Code linking to a step-by-step guide on how to register to vote in all 50 states:

THANKS!
