The Supreme Court took one of its many wrong turns this morning, this time with a decision that will make it harder for people to vote. The result means we all have to work harder than ever to promote voting this year. Luckily, some terrific organizations are revving up. Some of us from Campus Progress were lucky enough to join Rosario Dawson, Maria Teresa Petersen (both pictured below), and others for an event on Saturday to support Voto Latino, which has been doing great work with new technology and young people since its founding in 2004. We’re also glad to be working with HeadCount, which signs up voters at concerts and festivals – we at Campus Progress are not averse to these kinds of events, and we’re discussing new ways to work together. Our good friends at Rock The Vote also deserve a mention, as well a voter registration button on our home page – they are doing a fantastic job this year. Every one of us knows someone who really seems engaged and smart and all, yet somehow did not vote when last given the chance. Point them in the direction of these organizations, or march them to a voter registration table or polling place. Elections and change – they go together. Please vote.
