This movement stretches beyond college campuses, crossing state boundaries and international borders. Therefore, student political participation can affect your community, the country, and the entire world. The SSA wants you to realize that our mission goes beyond college campuses. What can you do to make a difference?

Encourage Students to Get Involved By:

• Organizing protests and encouraging them to learn their protest rights
• Organizing events on campus that advertise their organization’s mission or address a current issue that your groups find important
• Educating Themselves
• Are there any local issues that involve separation of church and state? What can both groups do to influence the decisions made? What can you do to challenge current issues that threaten this right?
• Voting and encouraging others to vote
• Jointly host a voter registration drive
• Get volunteers to chalk, table, or flyer to advertise the upcoming elections.
• Host a debate between campus candidates or even local candidates.
• Host a debate between professors that addresses a hot political topic.
• Getting involved in local politics.
• Supportting candidates by volunteering or working for their campaigns.
• Volunteering their time at your party’s headquarters
