CIRCLE, a terrific research think tank around all things related to the youth vote has also shared this piece on reaching young voters while they are "stuck at home."

If you are interested in what is happening here at GW, allow me to introduce you to GWVotes: https://serve.gwu.edu/gw-votes. As the Roth article makes clear, faculty have a role to play - so get involved, get your students involved. It's time.
