Voter Mobilization @ SHSU with Beto
Ready to do the work that actually works?
In 2024, our face-to-face voter registration model achieved a massive 79% voter turnout among the Texans we registered. We aren't just hoping for change—we have the blueprint to create it.
Join us and special guest Beto O'Rourke for the Every Campus Counts tour at SHSU! We are showing up to talk to students, spark personal conversations, and build lasting progressive power through relational organizing.
At this event, we will:
Engage directly with existing and potential student voters
Connect with voters using Reach, our relational organizing tool, so we can personally stay in touch with them all the way to Election Day
All volunteers are welcome! There are plenty of vital roles for everyone.
