Election 2024: Mobilize Mac
Mobilize Mac is the umbrella framing we use for democratic engagement and elections-related work via campuswide collaboration across numerous departments and offices, intended to be an inclusive space where students and the larger community can access relevant, non-partisan information. We recognize that this is an extraordinary presidential election; this is a living page that will be continuously updated with resources, news, and events, and our staff are always happy to chat.
Check Out Engagement Opportunities
Over the summer, we are updating the platform we use for students to view engagement opportunities in the Twin Cities. Rather than using the third-party vendor Galaxy Digital, we’re shifting to Slate, the internal system used college-wide (including 1600 Grand, registration, etc.) for a smoother student experience. Check out our new page, and please note it’s a work in progress!
Want to go deeper with a community partner?
The Action Fund supports off-campus community engagement projects proposed and led by students in direct collaboration with a local community-based organization. The projects all have action components, fulfilling unmet needs of Twin Cities’ communities, as well as learning/education components that promote reflection, meaning making, and sharing of lessons learned. Award amounts up to $2,500 are available per project.
