In the 2020 elections, according to Tufts University’s Institute for Democracy & Higher Education’s (IDHE) National Study of Learning, Voting and Engagement (NSLVE), college students voted at a record 66% rate. This groundswell of participation, the 2020 election’s unique circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and our foundational commitment to equity and inclusion – an urgent issue since long before the national reckoning on racial justice in the aftermath of the killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor – set the stage for a 2021 characterized by three distinct themes:

• Growing the student vote by implementing more collaborative and sustainable processes
• Creating tools and infrastructure to help Coalition partners build capacity and work more efficiently
• Building equity through collaboration

In short, we spent 2021 building a stronger, more inclusive coalition for the long term. Check out our 2021 Annual Report to learn how!
