Sign the Faculty Letter in Support of H.R.1
Two SSN scholars, Peggy James and Michael Evans from University of Wisconsin and Georgia State University, respectively, have authored a faculty letter in support of the For The People Act (also known as H.R. 1 or S. 1) because of its positive effects on youth voters. SSN has partnered with the Andrew Goodman Foundation to support this letter on behalf of U.S. college professors.
