This will be a presentation on the power of voter mobilization. This presentation will be centered around the efforts of the Vote For Equality Campaign, the independent expenditure of the feminist majority, and their inclusive approach to mobilizing young voters across college campuses. By addressing young people's issues and concerns, ranging from equality to the environment, the campaign gave a voice to many who felt underrepresented and unheard in society. The campaign reached a broader audience through issue-based campaigns that brought awareness to candidates' positions. Thus, ultimately, it centers on how the average person matters so much in an election because these issues often lead them to choose candidates that align with them.Presenter: Jaharra Anglin Stubbs (she/her) Jaharra Anglin Stubbs, a class of 2025, is from New York.
