Heads up! Tomorrow at 6:30 PM we will be phone banking (reaching out to voters) on behalf of NYS Senate candidate Michelle Hinchey. This involves informing them on her campaign, what great causes she stands for, and why they should vote for her!

As students on such a large campus, it is so easy to have our interests and concerns diminished or swept under the rug. Part of GenVote’s responsibility is to take those interests and concerns and bring them to light because nothing is more important than having your voice heard! With that being said, we are asking that you take a few moments to fill out this survey so we can advocate for your needs and do our best to make sure they are met!

On another note, we hope everyone is staying safe and being conscious of those around you in this time. Remember, issues like what’s currently going on don’t affect just one of us but ALL of us!
