American Voter Project: The Power of Student Mobilization in 2024

Due to unexpected circumstances, this event has been postponed. Please stay tuned for the new date.

Voting is fundamental to democracy, but American trust in “one person, one vote” has been compromised in recent years by Electoral College outcomes, allegations of voter suppression and voter fraud, and gerrymandering of congressional district boundaries. Voter mobilization is integral to that conversation, and we are thrilled to explore the important role that students have to play in this effort as we look ahead to the 2024 elections. For this installment of the American Voter Project series, the Eric H. Holder Jr. Initiative for Civil and Political Rights invites you to join us for a conversation on the theme of "the Power of Student Mobilization."

Discussion and Q&A: 6:00-7:30 p.m. (Doors open at 5:30 p.m.)
Reception: 7:30-8:30 p.m. (Food will be served)

Speakers:

Eric H. Holder Jr. CC'73, LAW'76, 82nd Attorney General of the United States

Frank A. Guridy, Dr. Kenneth and Kareitha Forde Professor of African American and African Diaspora Studies and Professor of History; Executive Director of the Holder Initiative at Columbia University

Moderated by Isabel Coberly CC'24 and Nicolas Lama CC'24, co-chairs of the Holder Initiative's Student Advisory Board
