Maryland Student Votes Summit

Our founder Jacquelyn attended a conference teaching college students how to encourage their peers to vote. She heard from speakers such as Greeshma Anand, the chair of MaryPIRG, Kristerfer Burnett of the Baltimore City Council, Dave Sommer from Instagram (who worked on Justin Trudeau's social media staff), and Congressman Steny Hoyer. She also heard from organizers lawyer Gideon Epstein and Joanne Antione, respectively representing the organizations  Civil Rights Under Law and Common Cause MD. She learned how to run peer-to-peer texting campaigns and got many ideas for how to pursue voter education campaigns through VotEd. She also learned many website design techniques.
