🚨 ACTION ALERT
The America First Legal Foundation has petitioned the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) to add documentary proof of citizenship requirements to the federal voter registration form.
This would make it harder for millions of eligible Americans to register to vote.

Getting high school students registered to vote is our passion. ❤️ And watching them protest for change is pretty high up there too.

🚨 Protect Title Funding!
Indiana is considering changes to how federal Title funding is used. These changes could divert resources away from vulnerable students who need them most and toward private interests.
