DNC Launches Campus Voter Registration Campaign at HBCUs and HSIs to Mark National Black Voter Day and Hispanic Heritage Month
September 19, 2024
During Hispanic Heritage Month and on the eve of National Black Voter Day, the DNC is expanding its HBCU and HSI campus voter registration campaign with hundreds of “I Will Vote” posters in battleground states to empower students to make their voices heard
Today, the Democratic National Committee expanded its campus voter registration campaign on HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) and HSI (Hispanic-Serving Institutions) campuses across battleground states to reach college students in these critical states and empower them with the information they need to register to vote ahead of Election Day.
In addition to campus kiosk ads, students will see hundreds of “I Will Vote” posters across campuses in Georgia, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Arizona, Nevada, and Pennsylvania laying out the stakes of this election for young voters and the threat Donald Trump’s Project 2025 agenda represents to students’ futures – from banning abortion and using the government to monitor women’s pregnancies, to rolling back student loan debt forgiveness, to even slashing public education funding, including support for colleges and universities. The on-campus ads direct students to IWillVote.com to encourage them to check their voter registration status, register to vote, and access information on when, where, and how to vote.
“Young voters are critical to the coalition that Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz are building ahead of November’s election,” said DNC Chair Jaime Harrison. “The DNC is taking every opportunity to reach students where they are and make sure they have all of the tools they need to vote this November on the issues that matter most to them. Young voters’ futures and freedoms are on the line as Donald Trump and JD Vance’s extreme Project 2025 agenda threatens to undermine reproductive rights, rig the economy for the ultra-wealthy, and slash public education funding, including support for colleges and universities. This campaign is the latest investment to bring young voters the information they need to cast their votes by calling, texting, or visiting I Will Vote online.”
Earlier this week, the DNC announced a new “I Will Vote” text-line, providing young voters with an easy way to access voter information at their fingertips by texting VOTE to 70888 for English or VOTO to 70888 in Spanish. I Will Vote is also available online at IWillVote.com and VoyAVotar.com and through a phone hotline at 1-833-DEM-VOTE (1-833-336-8683). Whether students prefer to visit online, call, or text, the Democratic Party is ensuring that voter information is at their fingertips ahead of this critical election season, including how to register to vote and access important, state-specific voting information – from voting deadlines to polling and ballot drop off locations.
