Friends, as we inch closer to Election Day, voter suppression tactics are getting more extreme.
In Arizona, anti-voting rights groups are suing to have 500,000 voters removed from the rolls.
Arizona is following the voter suppression playbook to a tee, following states like Ohio and Nevada who are taking steps to make it harder for eligible voters to cast their ballots.
Students already face countless barriers to vote, from access to information to voter ID laws, to a disconnection with the political process. That’s why voter mobilization work is so important in strengthening our democracy and allowing everyone to be heard.
States like Arizona know that young people are a key demographic in determining the outcome of critical elections—and Rise is mobilizing young people across the country to break youth turnout records in 2024.
Young people have the power to overcome voter suppression attempts, we know, because we’ve done it before.
Rise Action Fund, a 501(c)(4), and Rise Education Fund, a 501(c)(3), operate in tandem as “Rise” to increase access to higher education and foster youth participation in democracy.
