For the next 2 weeks we'll be taking donations for care packages. After 12/9 we'll be assembling them and safely distributing to those suffering from homelessness in the Duluth area. Additionally, later this winter we'll be doing a clothing drive- so watch for that! Stay safe!

A8: Encouraging people to vote early or online will help shorten the polling delays on election day, and help to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Early voting starts Friday, Sept. 18th and Tues, Oct. 20th is the last day to send your mail-in ballot! #WereStillOrganizing #SLSVChat

[Students Learn Students Vote Coalition @SLSVCoalition]

Q8: We are facing an unprecedented shortage of poll workers, which could mean closed polling places and long delays. How are you mobilizing students to fill in those gaps? #WereStillOrganizing #SLSVChat

[Duluth MPIRG @DuluthMPIRG]

A7: We plan to use our social media to build an online campaign and use those platforms to directly engage with UMD students. Collaborating with other orgs is another great way we build our community and connect with new people! #WereStillOrganizing #SLSVChat

[Students Learn Students Vote Coalition @SLSVCoalition]

Q7: We’ve talked #VoterReg & #VoterEducation, and so now let’s talk turnout! What #GOTV strategies are you planning or do you recommend as you mobilize your networks? #WereStillOrganizing #SLSVChat

[Duluth MPIRG @DuluthMPIRG]

A6: Ballotpedia, an online nonprofit, nonpartisan Encyclopedia of American Politics, is one helpful tool to use in staying up to date with election changes, deadlines and dates! It covers different levels of politics, public policy, and elections! #WereStillOrganizing #SLSVChat

[Students Learn Students Vote Coalition @SLSVCoalition]

Q6: What resources have you used to stay up to date with election changes, deadlines, and dates? Shout out an organization that helps you stay informed! #WereStillOrganizing #SLSVChat

[Duluth MPIRG @DuluthMPIRG]

[Students Learn Students Vote Coalition @SLSVCoalition]

Q5: Getting #VoteReady looks different for every person. How are you helping educate your friends and peers on how to vote in upcoming elections? #WereStillOrganizing #SLSVChat

[Duluth MPIRG @DuluthMPIRG]

A2: Relational organizing is the ability to mobilize those in your community through personal relationships. We have always valued the power of our campus and community connections, and believe continuing to build those relationships is crucial! #WereStillOrganizing #SLSVChat

[Students Learn Students Vote Coalition @SLSVCoalition]

Q2: There’s lots of buzz around #relationalorganizing. What exactly is it and how are you planning to practice relational organizing in an online world? #WereStillOrganizing #SLSVChat

[Duluth MPIRG @DuluthMPIRG]

A1: Every year we get to speak to classes about our org and help register people to vote. This year we can’t enter students' due to COVID, so we plan to create a quick and fun video with all that info for the professors to share! #WereStillOrganizing #SLSVChat

[Students Learn Students Vote Coalition @SLSVCoalition]

Q1: We know young people have the power to shape this Election, and we need everyone’s help! What are some ways your team is thinking about recruiting new people to join your organizing efforts? #WereStillOrganizing #SLSVChat

[Duluth MPIRG @DuluthMPIRG]

A3: We are connecting with different departments of our campus in order to create a unified front in promoting civic engagement to the student body! We will be utilizing social media, the school website, sharing videos, hanging posters, and more! #WereStillOrganizing #SLSVChat

[Students Learn Students Vote Coalition @SLSVCoalition]

Q3: Due to COVID-19, many campus organizers can’t use traditional outreach events like tabling to inform and educate voters about elections. How have you adjusted your plan for providing voting information to students digitally? #WereStillOrganizing #SLSVChat

[Duluth MPIRG @DuluthMPIRG]

A4: Our communities are made up of friends and loved ones, some who don’t understand the importance of voting and some who don’t have the privilege. When you vote, you are also voting for those who can’t. Vote for yourself and those around you! #WereStillOrganizing #SLSVChat

[Students Learn Students Vote Coalition @SLSVCoalition]

Q4: Friends make sure friends vote, and the first step to doing that is registering to vote! What’s your quick pitch on why it’s important to register to vote? #WereStillOrganizing #SLSVChat

[Duluth MPIRG @DuluthMPIRG]
