SAMPLE E-MAIL ABOUT CAMPAIGN FROM STUDENT LEADER

Was anyone talking to you during the recent election? The answer is probably “No.” Despite evidence of growing youth involvement and activism, the strong and persistent perception is that most young people are apathetic and cynical. As a result, our leaders talk about us and our future, but they continue to fail to talk to us. It is time we make our voice heard.

The Raise Your Voice campaign will be officially launched during Raise Your Voice – A Week of Action, February 16 – 22. This campaign will bring together 600 colleges and universities and more than 100,000 students to begin conversations, address issues and create solutions for the challenges facing our democracy.
