​

Hillary Poudeu Tchokothe, co-president of Turn Up Turnout at the University of Michigan, discussed how her organization promotes student voter turnout and facilitates positive on-campus voting experiences. She highlighted Turn Up Turnout's new Walks to the Polls program, which brings together students and faculty to build community around voting and make the process more accessible. Courtney Cooperman, project manager of Our Homes, Our Votes, shared information about Rideshare2Vote Aware, a nonpartisan organization that coordinates rides to the polls. She also presented on NLIHC's new Voter Pledge Card and accompanying User Guide, which staff and volunteers can use to facilitate follow-up with voters who need rides to the polls and other forms of assistance. The webinar concluded with announcements about ways to get involved with Our Homes, Our Votes beyond the webinar series. ​
