Here's another opportunity for action: mobilizing young voters of color in rural areas. Join a zoom call next Tuesday Aug 6, 10am – 11am (Pacific Time) / 1pm – 4pm (Eastern Time) highlighting RDI's Rural Youth Voter Fund, and featuring speakers Sarah Jaynes, Rural Democracy Initiative and Camille Thompson, Collective Renaissance Georgia.
The road to progress runs through rural America. Even beyond the electoral college, our system favors rural votes – 60% of the US Senate is elected by just 25% of the population, in mostly rural states, and 2/3 of US House districts are classified as “Pure Rural, Rural-Suburban, or Sparse Suburban.” Serious engagement with rural and small town voters is essential to create a stronger democracy and shared prosperity across all our communities. The Rural Youth Voter Fund aims to support and expand year-round civic engagement and power building strategies to mobilize young voters under the age of 35 in small towns and rural areas.
