Human Rights Program Encourages You to Get Out The Vote

In the spirit of human rights and democracy, here at the University of Minnesota’s Human Rights Program we know how important your right to vote is. The United States is in the last days of preparation for next week’s election, and we all have a chance to be a part of it. As early voting has started in the state of Minnesota, we want to countdown to the November 3rd general election with you through the Human Rights Program’s Get Out the Vote Week! Through our website and social media channels, we will be teaching your helpful voting tips, sharing student articles, and giving you a chance to show why voting matters to you! We hope through this, we can express how important voting is as a human right and encourage you all to GET OUT THE VOTE! Make your voice heard this election, and make sure to stay in the loop on our website and social media to learn more.
