Young people are registered to vote in numbers that mirror the historic 2018 election and foreshadow electoral power in 2022. Nationally and in more than 20 states across the country, there are more young people (ages 18-24) registered to vote by November 2022 than there were in November 2018. That includes increases in key battlegrounds like Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nevada.

However, expanding the youth electorate remains a structural challenge across the country. Most states lag behind in registration of 18- and 19 year-olds, highlighting the need to focus on the diverse group of young people who are new to the potential electorate.

The University of Michigan's National Center for Institutional Diversity is hosting a webinar Thursday October 27th 2022 from 3:30-5:00 pm ET on Academic and Community Collaborations.  Registration Link 

Universities have a long and storied history of collaboration with community organizations and organizers. Yet these collaborations are not without their challenges, as wealthy, predominantly white universities must address issues of power, privilege, and competing priorities for these collaborations to succeed. While decades of research and experience have illustrated some best practices in academic-community collaborations, the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing politicalization of research, growing public support of advocacy movements like Black Lives Matter, and the increasing reliance on social media have forced community organizers to engage in new and creative efforts to support their communities. How can universities best evolve to collaborate with and support community organizations amid these new challenges?

On October 27, join Dr. William Lopez for a discussion with Gladys Godinez, Cecia Alvarado, and Karina Perez, three Latina organizers and creatives with decades of experience advocating with and for Latino communities. Together, they will share their experiences on academic collaborations, describing what they’ve done, when it’s worked well, when it’s gone wrong, and what academics can do to best support the communities with whom they collaborate. Co-Sponsored by the NCID's Anti-Racism Collaborative, Poverty Solutions, the Department of American Culture, the Latina/o Studies Program, and the Carceral State Project.
