Voting and GOTV Information for Every State (+ Turning Out Gen Z to Vote) [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

To reach younger voters, campaigns must have young people in the campaigns empowered to do outreach to young people. It’s their future on the line.
That outreach cannot happen just in the last three months ahead of an election. That effort should include digital channels, of course, but also constant presence on campuses. The challenge there is the constant turnover in student populations. Candidates and officials should regularly visit college campuses, and even high schools in states where 17 year-olds can register if they’ll be 18 by Election Day.
Invest in youth content creators/influencers. There is an inherent level of trust among youth with youth. Give them information to distribute, then step out of the way; let them create the content. It’s what they do best. If they have a million followers, TRUST THEM to push out your information in way that’s most effective. (Even if the campaign doesn’t “get it.”)
